Sept 2 (Reuters) - Galatasaray have opened talks to sign
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen on loan, the Turkish Super Lig
club announced on Monday.
    The 25-year-old Nigeria international penned a contract
extension with the Italian club last December through to 2026
with a reported release clause of 130 million euros ($143.91
million).
    A month later, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis said
Osimhen would leave at the end of the season.
    The want-away striker has not been included in Napoli's
official 23-man Serie A squad for the current campaign.
    Osimhen's 26 goals helped Napoli win the Scudetto two
seasons ago but it has all turned sour since.
    ($1 = 0.9033 euros)
