BREAKING: Europe’s most wanted striker reached verbal agreement to join Arsenal in January, set to receive highest salary in Premier League- CONGRATULATIONS
Victor Osimhen reportedly demanded a break clause as part of his loan deal with Galatasaray that would allow him to join Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool in January.
Osimhen has joined the Turkish giants on loan after failing to secure a permanent move away from Napoli on deadline day.
Chelsea and Al-Ahli both entered talks with Napoli in the final hours of the window but were unable to secure Osimhen’s signature. The Blues found themselves at an impasse in negotiations and did not manage to reach a compromise before the window slammed shu
Al-Ahli, meanwhile, initially agreed a deal with Napoli before the Italian giants moved the goalposts by demanding more money. They eventually decided not to go ahead with the move, instead opting to sign Ivan Toney from Brentford.
Osimhen went on to join Galatasaray on a temporary basis, with the Turkish outfit paying his full salary of £176,000 per week in return for no loan fee. However, the Nigeria international has reportedly left the door open for a move to the Premier League in January.
While negotiating with Galatasaray, he demanded that his loan deal be terminated in January if he receives an approach from Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool, according to A Spor. It is said that German giants Bayern Munich also feature on the list of specified clubs.
Meanwhile, it has been reported by Fabrizio Romano that Napoli have lowered Osimhen’s release clause to around £63.2million. They will have the option to extend the striker’s contract until 2027 if he is not sold next summer, with his current deal set to expire in 2026.
