While his departure from Napoli is certain, his next destination remains unclear.

The 26-year-old, one of Europe’s most formidable strikers, has seen potential Premier League moves hindered by financial constraints.

Although he rejected three offers from Saudi club Al Hilal, his impressive stint in Turkey could pave the way for a return to Galatasaray.
