It is claimed that the possible sale of the Chelsea and United-linked striker could be used to buy Lecce's Patrick Dorgu, Arsenal's Jakub Kiwior, and Empoli's Jacopo Fazzini. But Napoli will want at least €75m for the prolific striker's services. However, going by Osimhen's comments, he is very content at the Turkish giants – where he's scored nine goals in 12 games.

He said: "I will not leave in January, I am at Galatasaray until the end of the season. I do not know what Galatasaray and Napoli are talking about afterwards, but if they come to me, we will talk. Galatasaray is a nice club that I like very much. I am very happy at Galatasaray."
