Napoli’s transfer of Victor Osimhen (24) is looking increasingly unlikely.
French media outlet ‘Le Parisien’ reported on July 21 (KST), “Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has no intention of letting Osimhen leave. He is the subject of interest from Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, among others.”
“Napoli have set a price tag of 180 million euros ($255 million) for Osimhen. It’s a staggering sum that would make him the second most expensive player of all time. President De Laurentiis has stated many times that he does not want to sell Osimhen.”
Recognizing the potential of the near-gem, Napoli spent €70 million in transfer fees to sign him in 2020. It was the highest transfer fee in Napoli’s history and the highest for an African player.
Osimhen is an all-round striker with great physicality and goal-scoring ability. At 6-foot-2, he is quick on his feet, which makes him a great aerial threat and penetrator. He is also a very active player and will work hard in defense for the full 90 minutes.메이저사이트
Victor Osimhen cost a huge transfer fee.
His stock has only risen this season. In total, he has 31 goals and five assists in 39 games. In Serie A, he was the top scorer with 26 goals and five assists in 32 games.
Napoli won their first Serie A title in 33 years. It was a result of a solid offensive and defensive balance, with Osimhen at the center of it all. That’s why Napoli would love to keep him.
However, with interest from several clubs, Osimhen is keen to move to the Premier League. “The Premier League is a dream,” he said. He has been linked with a £130 million ($214 million) transfer fee.
However, it seems increasingly unlikely that Osimhen will join Napoli. “Napoli have agreed in principle on a two-year contract with Osimhen, according to Napoli president De Laurentiis,” transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano recently reported.
“I have said for a long time that Osimhen should stay,” De Laurentiis said. “I have said for a long time that Osimhen should stay, but if a good offer comes in that we can’t refuse, of course we will consider it,” he said.
“I already spoke to Osimhen before the Scudetto victory ceremony. We have already reached a basic agreement on a two-year contract.” This will extend the contract, which currently ends in June 2025, to 2027.
