His move to Galatasaray opened new opportunities for the player. Napoli extended his contract until the summer of 2027 and reduced the release clause to €75 million for clubs outside Italy, just before he joined Okan Buruk’s team on loan.Osimhen has continued to score consistently in Turkey, attracting interest from several clubs, including AC Milan.
