Turkish journalist Samet Çayır published a WhatsApp chat between Edo De Laurentiis and an alleged Galatasaray supporter who warned him to let Osimhen go to avoid ugly consequences for him and his father.

The alleged Galatasaray fan introduced himself as a member of the Turkish Mafia before sending sickening death threats to the De Laurentiis family.

Osimhen wants Galatasaray return

Osimhen spent the last season on loan at Galatasaray and is eager to make his move permanent, but the two clubs have been in talks over his transfer fee for more than a week.

The latest update from Football Italia transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà suggests that Napoli want Osimhen’s €75m clause to be paid in full with a fixed fee of at least €50m.
