Galatasaray have reportedly shifted grounds in their pursuit for the permanent signing of Victor Osimhen as Napoli remains defiant on their financial demands.
Osimhen has started brightly since moving to Turkey on a season-long loan contributing to 12 goals in his first nine games, including a brace in his last two games.

According to Turkish outlet Sozcu, his performances have prompted Galatasaray to start making plans for his permanent signing and have prepared an offer of €50 million.
Napoli will not accept any offer less than his release side of €75 million after it was reduced in his extended contract before he made the move to Istanbul.
