STAFE OF THE STAGE: The Turkish club does not provide the surety and the clause has now expired. Night summit to look for the agreement
All suspended, all pending. Because when Victor Osimhen is involved, the twists and turns are always around the corner. The negotiation to bring the Nigerian center forward from Napoli to Galatasaray is currently blocked for financial defaults. The verbal agreements found on Wednesday in the Milan summit between the blue DS Giovanni Manna and the Turkish delegation did not have an official following, because the banking guarantees that asked the De Laurentiis club to close the operation by yesterday evening – expiry date of the termination clause – have never arrived. And now it is necessary to find a new solution that can unlock the impasse and avoid the shipwreck of the deal. Because the position of the gala seems to be adamant, as well as that of Napoli, which had already met for Turkish requests, granting a dilation of the payment of the 75 million expected in several tranches. In five years, to be exact. A gesture of courtesy, to close a spiny and controversial affair that has been going on for too long. But the guarantees were needed, a surety or a letter of credit to go on. In essence, Napoli wanted to protect themselves from possible surprises: paying money, seeing camel.
to the bitter end

The gala understood that the arm wrestling would not have brought anywhere, so the Turkish vice -president Abdullah Kavukçu – who arrived in Italy with the intermediary George Gardi – canceled the return journey scheduled last night and organized a new summit with Manna, to try to look for new roads, other than the surety. It is about the other way, and this is still a positive sign on the will of all parts of finding a meeting point. Moreover, the president of Galatasaray Dursun Özbek had recommended himself with his return to Türkiye only to an agreement reached, only to then fail at the previous verbal agreement. Özbek, in fact, just yesterday at the Turkish Ajanssport portal he had released his thoughts. “We have never done anything that put Galatasaray in financial difficulty. At Galatasaray everything proceeds according to the rules. We have never done, and we will never do, moved that they can put the club in financial difficulty. And this also applies to the transfer of Osimhen”. In short, the reference is to the surety to be guaranteed to Napoli, which would risk becoming an uncomfortable previous for future negotiations. On international transfers, in fact, there is no obligation to financial guarantees and grant it to Napoli – seen by the Turkish part – would open up to possible requests for future business. And the gala does not want to put on the corner.

On the other hand, the will of Napoli to protect itself is sacrosanct: the surety is a necessary and essential condition for President De Laurentiis, who had already had problems with the gala after the transfers of Pandev (2014) and Dzemaili (2015). Napoli could insert a 75 million euro entrance on the next budget and an almost total capital gain, for this reason it cannot afford to risk. And Osimhen cannot do it -already agreed for a three -year period with option for the fourth year to 16 million net per season -, which without an agreement between the clubs will be forced to present himself for the 15 Gathering in Castel Volturno and then who knows. But the gala understood that the climate of tension does not help, so he invited Napoli to sit again at the negotiation table. Could a credit letter be enough to resolve the issue? Meanwhile, Victor pushes to return to Istanbul and the Turkish fans are waiting for their superhero. Naples, on the other hand, can no longer. He wants to collect and think about the future. To be programmed without the shadow of the catchphrase Osimhen.
