Barcelona seem to be on a secret mission — finding the perfect mentor for young Lamine Yamal. 😄
And let’s be honest… there’s only one man who can toughen up that 17-year-old wonderkid and teach him real football manners — Victor Osimhen! 💪🔥
Imagine the chaos if these three ever played together:

Osimhen, the Nigerian striker formerly of Napoli, moved on loan to Galatasaray after a summer of failed big transfer bids. (Vanguard News)
As part of his loan package, it was reported there was a special clause: a potential exit in the January transfer window for certain clubs, under specific conditions. (TEAMtalk)
The Clause
- The clause reportedly named a list of around 10 elite clubs who could trigger the exit in January. (TEAMtalk)
- The agreed release figure was around €75 million, though there were whispers Napoli might accept lower, and Galatasaray also negotiating payment terms. (Football Italia)
- Though the clause existed, Galatasaray’s coach stated that Osimhen’s intention was to stay for the full season. (Vanguard News)
The Implications
- For clubs like FC Barcelona, the clause was interesting — reports said Barcelona hoped Napoli might lower the price so they could step in. (OneFootball)
- For Osimhen, it meant his future was open: a big club could activate the clause in January, making a move possible mid‑season.
- However, despite the existence of the clause, many believed the move in January was unlikely, because Osimhen himself expressed a desire to play out the season at Galatasaray. (thesun.ng)
Why It Mattered
- This kind of clause gives all parties flexibility: the player, the parent club (Napoli), and the loan club (Galatasaray) — but also pressure.
- It signals that the player is already viewed as “transfer‑ready” for bigger moves, even during the loan.
- For clubs watching (Premier League, La Liga, etc), it set a clear “window of opportunity” in January.
