Turkish giants, Galatasaray has reached an agreement in principle with Napoli over a loan deal for Victor Osimhen till the end of the season, football sources have said.

In the said deal, the striker’s salary will be covered.

Gala’s delegation is to meet with Osimhen in Napoli in next hours for final green light to the move.

Football lovers have since taken to the social media to celebrate the news, saying Galatasaray has more pedigree than Chelsea.

Recall that Osimhen was expected to leave Napoli during the transfer window.

The Lagos-born emerged as one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe, having been linked with moves to Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Liverpool, among others, following impressive seasons with Napoli.

Despite his desire to leave the club, the Nigerian striker’s anticipated move to Stamford Bridge fell through, leaving him in a limbo as the transfer window closed on Friday.

While Chelsea were the most likely destination for Osimhen, Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli also emerged as a potential destination. They even reportedly agreed on terms with Napoli for the transfer, but the deal fell apart when the Italian side asked for a further €5m in addition to the agreed €80m transfer fee.
