Napoli in transferring Osimhen included a lucrative clause in the transfer of the Nigeria striker to Galatasaray, meaning the Turkish club could owe up to £60 million if they sell the 27-year-old to an Italian team in the future.
The clause ensures that Napoli retain a financial stake in Osimhen’s career pattern, particularly if he returns to Serie A. While Galatasaray have full ownership of the striker for now, any Italian suitors triggering the clause would see the club pay a significant sum, adding a layer of caution to potential future transfers.
Osimhen, who made a name for himself in Naples with consistent scoring exploits, joins Galatasaray aiming to bring his proven goal-scoring prowess to the Turkish Süper Lig. The added clause underscores Napoli’s desire to benefit from his value should a return to Italy ever materialize.
The striker’s move highlights the increasingly strategic nature of modern transfers, where selling clubs often protect their long-term financial interests through conditional clauses on future deals.
