Napoli are infuriated with Victor Osimhen’s decision to snub a move to Manchester United.
United are reportedly keen on signing the Nigeria international this month following their difficult start to the season.
According to La Repubblica, Osimhen is determined to spend the entire season at Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray.
A break-up clause was inserted in his contract when he joined the Yellow and Reds on loan last September.
Napoli were hoping to make €81m from his sale this month and invest the money in their squad.
The forward, according to the publication, has informed Napoli director Giovanni Manna that he wanted to remain with Galatasaray until the end of the season.
The 26-year-old’s decision has infuriated president Aurelio De Laurentiis, who saw it as yet another example of Osimhen trying to make his situation difficult for Napoli.
