Victor Osimhen has reportedly cooled on the idea of joining Juventus after learning about a clause in his contract that would require Galatasaray to pay Napoli a significant fee if he is sold to the Italian club.
Italian outlet Tuttomercato said that when Napoli sold Osimhen to Galatasaray in the summer of 2025, the deal included an “anti-Italy” clause blocking a return to Serie A for two years.
The clause reportedly requires Galatasaray to pay a €70 million penalty to Napoli if the striker is sold to an Italian club in the first year, or €50 million in the second year. The restriction remains in place until Sept. 1, 2027.
Under the transfer agreement, Napoli also secured a 10% share of any future resale, while Galatasaray paid about €75 million for the Nigeria international.
Osimhen’s contract reportedly includes a net salary of €15 million per year, which could rise to €21 million with performance-related bonuses.
