A middle ground has been found between Napoli and Galatasaray regarding the transfer of striker Victor Osimhen.

This was disclosed by sports presenter, Volkan Kılıç on Wednesday night.

According to Kılıç, an agreement has been reached and Osimhen’s transfer is expected to be announced by weekend.

“A middle ground has been found in the Osimhen transfer. An agreement has been reached,” Kılıç wrote on X.

“I expect the Osimhen transfer to be announced by the weekend at the latest. Congratulations in advance.”

This is coming a week after Kılıç revealed that Osimhen’s transfer won’t be finalized.

According to him, no middle ground and agreement yet as Galatasaray’s chief Abdullah Kavukcu is putting in intense effort.

He said that the Galatasaray side is doing everything possible to complete the transfer of Osimhen this summer, adding that Napoli wants a large portion of the money in cash, plus additional guarantees.

Kılıç had last month insisted that Galatasaray will contact Newcastle United for their star striker, Alexander Isak if they fail to sign Osimhen on a permanent transfer from Napoli.

However, with the latest development, Galatasaray won’t contact the Premier League club.

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
