French Ligue 1 champions PSG will have to pay both Napoli and Galatasaray should they want to sign Victor Osimhen in a January move mid-loan.
Victor Osimhen was one of the hottest stories of the summer transfer window as interest arrived from Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG.
The Blues only narrowly missed out on securing his signature on Deadline Day, with their failure to agree personal terms sending the hitman in a shock move to Galatasaray.
The 25-year-old Nigeria international, who has 10 goals and five assists in 13 appearances for Gala, has insisted that he is happy with the Super Lig club, but interest remains with rumors claiming the Parisiens are sniffling around the striker for a January move.
Meanwhile, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Osimhen, who couldn’t make a move to an European club for a €130 million buyout fee, can now be signed from Napoli for €75 million due to a clause in his contract.
But an external clause on his contract also claim the Turkish gaints, where Osimhen is currently loaned to, will be entitled to compensation.
A renowed jornalist, Nicolo Schira, has revealed the details of the player’s release clause with the Turkish club should he decide to leave to an European club in January.
“Victor Osimhen’s release clause (€81m) will be valid from January 2025. From July, the clause will be €75m,” as seen on his page on Twitter.
One of the reasons for these differing values is that Galatasaray will receive a €6m fee should Osimhen’s loan be broken at the midpoint of the season.
PSG could well be tempted to make a blockbuster bid for Osimhen in January due to their scoring troubles this season.
