Football expert Mehmet Demirkol is not optimistic that the Istanbul-based club can sign Osimhen and made an analogy describing how impossible it is.

“There is the Osimhen issue. Can we find 70 million euros? Sponsors and so… Of course, such a thing is not possible,” Demirkol told Socrates newspaper.

“It is not a question of something like ‘I found a sponsor, he takes it up to 70 million euros’. This is forbidden in football, but it is not possible to explain this.”

“How are you going to find a €70 million sponsor for a player? There is no such thing. If there was such a thing, Newcastle United would pay the money and get Mbappe,” he concluded.

Napoli are not ready to deal with Gala unless they can pay the full fee, having lowered it from €130m. Other top clubs are interested, including Serie A teams.
