This transfer window is remembered in Victor Osimhen transactions. How it unfolded, but more than anything, how it ended. Once the player and Galatasaray’s will were clear, he became Aurelio de Laurentis. God is Matinasnot in the points of ancient Greek theatres, but in the modern key: perhaps, perhaps not unexpected, those who brought the tricky Saga to a successful end.
Let me also add that he unraveled the tangles he wanted. You may oppose a lot about him, but when it comes to Osimhen, when you are on the verge of completing your deal with Galatasaray, just two words are enough: a perfect victory. That is a fact, not an opinion.
I never saw him afraid of carrying a bag. He handed over negotiations for Victor’s return to Türkiye, as tomorrow was always there. No transit times, expiration clauses, media pressure, or the entire fan base is demanding Osimen as if it had arrived free of charge.
The turning point was July 8th, but everyone realized that simply announcing the intention to pay Osimhen’s clause was not enough to take him to Galatasaray. As if words were enough, without the necessary guarantees. Starting Tuesday, July 8th, Galatasaray had to participate in everything. They had to get the banks and the CEO involved. For 12 days until last Sunday, they pushed to close the most expensive deals in their history.
Galatasaray’s passionate fans welcome Victor in preparation for this year’s celebration, but De Laurentiis has not lost control of the situation, not a year left on the contract.
This is a good part of the story. DeLaurentiis got all he had requested. It had to be 75 million euros and he won 75 million euros. The payment structure cannot exceed 2026, so there are no issues. The anti-serie A clause, which may be called the anti-Juventus clause, is valid for two years. If Galatasaray wants to break it, they have to pay an absurd fee. Add some bonuses to make the total total of 5 million euros. Would you like to include a sell-on clause? Let’s make it 10%. Really the biggest. Naples pocketed the planned amount for 150 million euros, including the Khvicha kvaratskhelia contract last January, and finally said goodbye to the two main characters.
Naples had already committed to Antonio Conte by moving to the market, even before the Osimchen trade was finalized. Now they can focus on the rest of the deal without worrying.
Here is also Van Jamin Kovic Savic, for many skeptics. It was July 12th that Napoli first mentioned the surprising return to Turin’s goalkeeper. In the meantime, Naples also worked on Noah Lang and Sam Bekema. Now they can all-in for Milinkovic-Savic. Transfers we thought we had already gone a week ago. Naples will pay millions more than the 100 million euro clause in exchange for better payment terms. At the same time, Cyril Ngonge will move to Turin under confirmed conditions. In addition to the paid loan transaction worth 1 million euros, Franco Israel (Sports CP) is an alternative to Mirinkovic Savic.
As for Antonio Conte’s number one choice, Dan Ndoy, Bologna has reasonably continued to request an add-on of 40 million euros, bringing the total to 45 million euros. Naples is approaching the 40 million euro threshold. Ndoye wants to join Conte rather than Nottingham Forest, but still maintains a great relationship with his club and does not want to ruin it. I didn’t say much about forests. Because they only endure the chance if they approach the 40 million euro figure. They haven’t done that yet. Let’s take a look…
In the meantime, beware: If you have something to sell and get hooked for months without finding a solution, book a reservation with De Laurentiis. guarantee.
