Following the debacle with Chelsea on Deadline Day, VICTOR OSIMHEN arranged his own loan move to Galatasaray without the assistance of his representative.
However, it has been stated that an odd clause has been added to the Nigerian international’s season-long transfer to Turkey, which might cause him to depart in January.

Ahead of his physical, the 25-year-old landed in Istanbul amid cheering fans brandishing flares in the wee hours of Tuesday morning.
Throughout the summer, Chelsea was frequently connected to the wanted striker, but the Blues were unable to finalize the transfer.
Osimhen will sign a one-year contract with Galatasaray, but new rumors indicate that his loan contract contains a special condition.
Osimhen has requested that his contract include a break clause that only applies to ten particular teams, according to Turkish publication A Spor.
He will thus be permitted to depart in the event that any of the unidentified teams make an offer in January.
However, Turkish journalist Kagan Dursun asserted that his wish list includes Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
Football Italia also conjectured that the list includes Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
In an effort to make a permanent move out of Napoli, Osimhen has also requested that his release clause be lowered from £109 million to £63 million.
He was left off of Antonio Conte’s squad list for the 2024–25 season, which prompted his loan move.
Earlier in the week, Napoli finalized the £38 million acquisition of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.
In his Napoli debut, the Belgian striker scored a goal to help his team overcome a deficit and defeat newly promoted Parma.
Osimhen led Napoli to their first championship in thirty-three years with 26 goals in the league in 2022–2023.
And he scored 15 the previous season, although the team had a terrible season overall.
They came in tenth place and were completely shut out of Europe.
After a stormy summer window, Osimhen and his agent Roberto Calenda’s tension has reached a breaking point.
The striker handled his own loan-deal move to Turkey this past weekend as a result.
