A loan deal has been agreed with the Italian club, but it does not include any buy option/obligation clause.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Napoli have given the all-clear to a dry loan – without an option to buy – as long as Galatasaray cover his full salary.

Another alternative is for Galatasaray to pay a fee for the loan but have the wages shared between them.

Representatives from the Turkish club are flying into Naples for advanced negotiations and to finalise the paperwork.

The summer transfer window in Turkey closes on September 13, giving Galatasaray ample time to finalise the deal.

Should the transfer go through, Osimhen will join a star-studded squad featuring Mauro Icardi and his former teammate, Dries Mertens.
