After Victor Osimhen left Aurelio De Laurentiis' club to sign for Galata in the summer of 2024, it looks like Noa Lang will follow the same path in his career.
Noa Lang to Galatasaray: loan until the end of the season + purchase option of 30 million euros
According to Fabrizio Romano, Napoli and Galatasaray have hit it off again. Noa Lang, the footballer signed by the Italian champions six months ago, will play Ali Sami Yen.
The Italian journalist announced that the Dutchman will be loaned to Galatasaray until the end of this season, the Turks paying the Neapolitans approximately 2 million euros, and then in the summer they can activate the permanent transfer clause worth 30 million.
He also stated that the option to purchase the player definitively will remain at the discretion of Ali Sami Yen's club, but also that Lang's salary for the rest of the 2025/2026 season will be fully covered by the Turkish champion.

Napoli paid 25 million euros for Noa Lang in the summer of 2025
Antonio Conte's side signed the Dutch international in last summer's transfer window, paying PSV Eindhoven €25m for him.
However, his performances in the “Ciucciarelli” jersey were not convincing. In the first part of the current season, Lang made 27 appearances for Napoli in all competitions, during which he managed to score just one goal and provide only two assists.
Gradually, he lost his place in the first 11, and the move to Galatasaray could be good for the footballer, especially since his goal is to participate in the World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada, and the fight for offensive positions in the Dutch national team will be extremely fierce.
In addition, with the transfer to Galata, Lang has a much better chance of catching the qualification playoff in the last 16 of the Champions League. Currently, Okan Buruk's team is in 17th place in the single group, while Napoli is not in a play-off position (25th) and risks an early exit from the competition, especially since in the last stage, Conte's students will face Chelsea, a game that the Italians are doomed to win.
