Osimhen shuts the door on Napoli: ‘I’m not staying in Naples’

Victor Osimhen has reportedly made it clear to Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis that he has no intention of remaining at the club, signaling a definitive end to his tenure with the Partenopei.

According to La Repubblica, the Nigerian striker has severed ties not only with the club’s leadership but also parts of the locker room and fan base—following a strained fallout since Napoli’s Scudetto triumph in 2023. ‘Scorched earth’ is how insiders describe his current stance.

Sources close to the player confirm that Osimhen is focused solely on a move to Galatasaray, where he found happiness during his successful loan stint last season. However, finalizing the transfer has proven complicated, with the Turkish side grappling with what’s being described as the most expensive deal in their history.

While Napoli insists on robust financial guarantees, Osimhen’s firm position suggests a reunion with the blue jersey is now off the table. A summer divorce appears inevitable.
