Latest transfer news and rumors: Galatasaray offer Osimhen huge deal
Though the mini transfer window for Club World Cup clubs has now closed, summer deals will pick up again soon. The Premier League transfer window reopens Monday, while the rest of Europe's top leagues prepare to do business July 1. Check in every day for all the latest buzz from across the soccer world.
Top story: Galatasaray hopeful about Osimhen
Galatasaray have offered Victor Osimhen a contract worth up to €20 million per season to convince him to stay at the club long term. While that's some way off the amount Al-Hilal would've paid Osimhen had he accepted the move to Saudi Arabia, he'd get the best of both worlds at Galatasaray: the chance to play in European competition and an unquestionably high annual salary.
The Turkish club is optimistic it can sign Osimhen to a permanent deal following the end of his successful season-long loan spell but hasn't yet found a way to activate the player's €75-million release clause. Napoli would like Galatasaray to deliver the funds in the fewest possible instalments. (Florian Plettenberg)
