Oliseh explained that the total financial package required to secure Osimhen was around €187 million over four years, far beyond the headline €75 million Napoli asking price.

The package includes the transfer fee, Napoli’s 10% resale clause, and Osimhen’s €15 million net annual salary, which alone totals €112 million over the contract duration.

“This has been the major problem for clubs trying to acquire Osimhen,” Oliseh said, emphasizing the commercial realities behind the transfer saga.

Despite interest from Premier League giants like Manchester United and Chelsea, the staggering overall cost prevented them from meeting Napoli’s valuation.

Osimhen’s record transfer to Turkish champions Galatasaray is now the most expensive in Turkish football history. Though he missed their opening match due to transfer uncertainty, he remains committed and is expected to feature soon.
