Victor Osimhen’s January Release Clause Revealed

Written By Onyeka Daniel

In the last summer transfer window, there was one transfer that particularly caught the attention of most football enthusiasts, the next club for Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, when it became apparent that he had no future at Napoli. After a failed move to the Middle East, he eventually joined Galatasaray. But it is an open secret that this is just a temporary solution.

More Details

Now, according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, Ligue 1 giants PSG are still interested in Osimhen but would be required to pay a double release clause in the January transfer window. Currently, the Turkish side are confident that he will remain in Istanbul until the end of the season, a release clause valid in the January transfer window leaves his future at the club in doubt.

A report from Gazzetta now has it that Osimhen’s deal with Napoli includes a €75m clause valid for January, but any club interested in the Napoli loanee next month would need to add an extra fee to free him from Galatasaray.Corriere dello Sport reported in October that the compensation for Galatasaray is set at €6m.

PSG remain interested in Osimhem for January, according to Gazzetta, as the French club’s director, Luis Campos, already worked with the striker at Lille and is a long-time admirer of the 25-year-old. Osimhen is currently injured but has scored ten goals and provided five assists in 13 appearances across all competitions with Galatasaray this season.

Another Serie A club, Juventus have also been linked with him, mainly because of their sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, who signed Osimhen for Napoli from Lille. But for the Bianconeri to be able to make a move, they will have to sell off Dusan Vlahovic and this scenario might become a reality, especially if the Serbian striker continues to stalk on signing a new deal with the Old Lady’s.

But any move will probably have to happen in the summer. It is also worth noting that Napoli director, Giovanni Manna recently stated that no clubs has contacted them over a possible move for Osimhen in January. In a related development, Sky Sport Italia reports that Monza are leading the race to loan Cesare Casadei from Chelsea in January.

This is because the Italian midfielder is pushing to return to Italy. According to the report, the Serie A side have moved to the front row to sign the Chelsea midfielder on loan in January. The 22-year-old is struggling for playing time under Enzo Maresca and hasn’t yet played in the Premier League this season. He has collected 334 minutes of football across five appearances.

Four in the Conference League and one in the EFL Cup and according to Sky Sport, the Italian midfielder wants to return to Italy next month to gain consistent playing time. Monza are reportedly leading the race to loan the talented midfielder until the end of the season.

Monza, coached by Italy legend Alessandro Nesta, have only won one Serie A game out of 15 and sit 19th in the table with 10 points.
