Galatasaray have opened talks to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen (25) on loan, the Turkish Super Lig club announced on Monday.
The Nigeria international penned a contract extension with the Italian club last December through to 2026 with a reported release clause of 130 million euros ($143.91 million).
A month later, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis said Osimhen would leave at the end of the season.
The want-away striker has not been included in Napoli's official 23-man Serie A squad for the current campaign.
Osimhen's 26 goals helped Napoli win the Scudetto two seasons ago but it has all turned sour since.
