Mauro Meluso, Napoli's director, has stated that Victor Osimhen's summer loan move to Galatasaray was a 'last-minute solution'.

Meluso stated this while adding that the Super Eagles attacker is free to leave Napoli for a fair price in January 2025.

Remember that Osimhen expressed a desire to leave Napoli at the close of last season.

His future was the subject of significant speculation during the summer, with Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Al-Ahli all linked.

"He no longer wanted to be a part of the first-team," Napoli director Meluso remarked of Osimhen at this week's Palermo Football Conference.

"He had gotten a substantial offer even before I arrived at Napoli, but [Napoli chairman] Aurelio De Laurentiis did not consider it because he was concerned about the club's success.

"It was a last-minute solution to ensure he did not miss the first three months of the season." "We'll see in January," he said.
