Galatasaray have been dealt a huge blow in their pursuit of Victor Osimhen this summer.

This comes following Napoli's rejection of Galatasaray's release clause amount for the Nigerian international.

This latest development on Victor Osimhen's transfer was disclosed by Nigerian sports journalist, Buchi Laba via his official X handle in the early hour of Thursday, July 10.

"They’re frustrating the deal intentionally and wants to push him to Saudi Arabia (Al Hilal). Victor Osimhen has made it very clear that going to Al Hilal is not possible. He only wants Galatasaray.

"He also made it very clear to Napoli that he won’t report for Pre season and doesn’t want to play for Napoli anymore."

Osimhen had a remarkable campaign with Galatasaray last season, registering 37 goals in 41 appearances for the club.
