Indeed, judging by the news, Galatasaray is clearly the frontrunner to acquire Osimhen, as Galatasaray's new proposal is likely to be approved by Napoli today. Premier League clubs have withdrawn from the pursuit of Osimhen due to high asking price.

Galatasaray are indeed the top club in the pursuit of osimhen because the former clubs on the race are no more in bid for osimhen right now. The high asking price for osimhen by Napoli is the prior reason why many premier league clubs withdrawn from the pursuit of the player, osimhen recently rejected the Saudi offer and it seems like Napoli likes him to move to Saudi and the player still wants to be in Europe.

Well the osimhen transfer saga is currently one of the most controversial transfer clause in the transfer window this season.

Big clubs have no problem paying any amount of money, the amount that Napoli asked for is not very high, but the problem is that the player is not in Serie A and performing excellently like a few years ago when Napoli became champions while he was in the squad, that's why the big clubs are not paying attention to him, anyway it seems that Napoli and Galatasaray have finally reached an agreement:

If the player had been more intelligent and humble by remaining with good behavior in the team, he would have played the entire last season in the team and this would have greatly increased his good image and attracted the attention of the big teams in Europe who would pay that amount of money without any problems, but he rushed and clashed with the Napoli management when he accepted a long-term contract with a very high release clause.
