Nigerian international Victor Osimhen will not remain at Turkish Süper Lig club Galatasaray at the end of the season, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The transfer expert added that the 26-year-old will also leave Napoli permanently in the summer.

The Super Eagles striker has been in remarkable form for the Turkish giants this season, scoring 33 goals in 38 appearances across all competitions.

Romano revealed that while Premier League interest is undeniable, the major stumbling block to the move is the player's salary.

“First of all, Osimhen is not staying at Galatasaray. Osimhen is going back to Napoli after the loan deal, but he will not be staying at Napoli for sure—it’s over. The release clause is there, €75 million, and that remains very clear,” Romano declared.

“The interest in Osimhen is genuine from several Premier League top clubs. The real issue is the salary. Victor Osimhen earns €12 million net per season at Napoli. With Financial Fair Play and the different salary structures Premier League clubs have adopted in recent years, at the moment, this amount is considered too high.

“First of all, Osimhen is not staying at Galatasaray. Osimhen is going back to Napoli after the loan deal, but he will not be staying at Napoli for sure—it’s over. The release clause is there, €75 million, and that remains very clear,” he said.
