Napoli has ruled out any discount on Victor Osimhen €75 million release clause, especially for Juventus. President Aurelio De Laurentiis insists the full amount must be paid. Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, who originally signed Osimhen, faces challenges due to the high fee and Osimhen €10 million annual salary plus bonuses.

As the summer transfer window nears, Napoli has firmly closed the door on any discounted transfer for star striker Victor Osimhen, insisting that any club interested, especially Juventus, must meet his full €75 million release clause. According to reports from

Calciomercato, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has made it clear that under no circumstances will the Nigerian forward be allowed to leave for anything less, particularly to domestic rivals like Juventus.

Osimhen, who commands a hefty annual salary of €10 million net plus bonuses, remains a dream target for Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli. Giuntoli, who was instrumental in bringing Osimhen to Napoli during his own tenure there, now faces a major financial hurdle in attempting to reunite with the player in Turin.

The deal is complicated not only by the significant transfer fee but also due to Osimhen's high wage demands, which could strain Juventus' budget. Napoli’s rigid stance underscores their unwillingness to strengthen a direct Serie A rival without maximum compensation. With no room for negotiation, Juventus must now decide whether to meet Napoli’s demands or look elsewhere as they seek to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season.
