Fabrizio Romano, who is fluent in European soccer news, reported on the 3rd (Korea time) along with his unique comment, "Here we go." "Oshimen's transfer to Galatasaray has been confirmed. The contract has been completed, and all documents have been approved."
"Oshimen's buyout amount has been set at 75 million euros (W111 billion), and Napoli have the option to extend their contract until 2027. Osimhen will move to Galatasaray on loan until June 2025, with Napoli paying an annual salary of 9-10 million euros (W13-15 billion). There are no full or mandatory transfer options," he added.
Osimhen was the representative striker for Napoli in the 2022-23 season. Osimhen became Serie A's top scorer with 26 goals and four assists in that season. He also led Scudetto (winning Italian Serie A) for the first time in 33 years.
With the 2023-24 season to go, there have been various rumors of a transfer. Coach Luciano Spalletti, who had already won the title with him, left the team, and Kim Min-jae also moved to Bayern Munich. However, Osimhen decided to stay one more season. However, he had a rather unstable season early in the season due to rumors of discord with the manager, injuries, and cumulative punishment for warnings.
He was one of the most likely players to leave the team this summer. Chelsea and PSG tried to recruit Osimhen. However, both Chelsea and PSG withdrew their recruitment because Osimhen demanded a high weekly salary.
In particular, the reason why PSG withdrew from the transfer of Osimhen was revealed. PSG REPORT, which delivers PSG news, said, "Lee Kang-in is an important player in PSG. Napoli demanded that Lee Kang-in be included in Osimhen's transfer negotiations. PSG requested the buyout amount of Osimhen, but the negotiations were suspended. Since that moment, PSG has not considered recruiting Osimhen."
The disclosure made a comeback in July. In July, Santi Auna, a reporter for French media Foot Mercato, said, "PSG has no intention of paying for Osimhen's release clause. PSG does not want an offer of more than 80 million euros (W121 billion). Naples, on the other hand, wants more than 105 million euros (W159 billion).
"Napoli even offered PSG a €90 million (W136 billion) contract with Korean attacking midfielder Lee Kang-in. Lee Kang-in is the one that attracts the most attention from PSG players to coach Antonio Conte. However, PSG rejected it. So, there are some blockages at the moment, and the Osimensaga is not over yet," he added.
Reporter Romano also said, "If you come between PSG and Napoli, the negotiations are not progressing. PSG refused to include Lee Kang-in in the contract, and will not trigger a buyout as Napoli wants."
It proved once again how important PSG considers Lee Kang-in as an important player. Since he wore his PSG uniform last summer, Lee Kang-in has scored five goals and five assists in all tournaments, contributing to his team's three gold medals (Ligne, Trope de Champion, and Coupe de France). In particular, PSG had no intention of missing out on the value of Lee Kang-in's products. Lee Kang-in became the new sign of PSG as he rose to the top of the uniform sales. 토토사이트 순위
Eventually, Osimhen became a duck egg of Nakdong River. Al Ahli of the Saudi professional league sent a love call at the end of the transfer window, but even that did not happen. Eventually, Osimhen who could have worn PSG uniform will leave for Galatasaray on a one-season loan.
