Italian Journalist, Romano, has reported that a delegation from Galatasaray are on their way to meet the 25-year-old to conclude the deal.
With Napoli making it clear that they have no intention of giving Osimhen minutes, he must now decide where he wants to spend his future.
The striker, who scored 17 goals for the Italian outfit, has been replaced as the club's main man by £38million signing Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgian striker scored on his Napoli debut just days after completing his move, helping Antonio Conte's side to victory over Parma.
Lukaku came off the bench to start a dramatic comeback, equalising in stoppage-time with a low strike inside the box. Just minutes later Andre Zambo Anguissa netted the winner.

He drove Napoli to their first title in 33 years in 2022-23, scoring 26 league goals in his most impressive campaign in blue.
