The separation between Napoli and Victor Osimhen this summer now seems certain, despite the contract renewal. According to a journalist Skythe Nigerian striker’s stay in blue cannot yet be completely ruled out.
With the interview given to CBS during the Africa Cup of Nations, Victor Osimhen has effectively left the door open to a sale next June. Despite the contract renewal in December, the situation of the Italian number nine is clear: any top club willing to pay the clause included in the contract will win the Nigerian striker’s sporting performances. Today, however, a hypothesis has arisen that opens up new scenarios between the attacker and the Naples.
Osimhen could stay at Napoli, the hypothesis launched by Luca Marchetti of Sky Sport
Luca Marchettijournalist from Sky Sportshe released to the microphones of Radio Mars some statements about Osimhen and its future. Here is what is highlighted:
In my opinion It’s unlikely that Osimhen will stay in Naples but I don’t rule it out. It is especially unlikely for a salary discussion. I imagine that there are necessarily teams interested in the player because there aren’t many important strikers and the Nigerian has shown that he can handle the impact even in the most important competitions. How much it is worth depends on the role played. If De Laurentiis decides not to go below the famous 120 million he really risks keeping it.
If a club is really interested in signing Osimhen and knows that Napoli can hardly pay a salary of 10 million, does it offer 110 or 120 million? This is why playing roles or negotiations is important. I believe that today Osimhen could be worth around 100 million; There are few teams that can afford him but these teams might need a striker. I’m talking about Chelseaof the PSG and there could be some other surprise team.
Osimhen he has barely collected this season 17 appearances in Serie A out of 29 days played, of which 15 as a starterdue to various injuries, scoring anyway 11 goals and providing 2 assists. Although the scoring average is very respectable, the uncertainty about the physical fitness that has hovered over the player since he joined Naples can be decisive for the figures of a hypothetical transfer agreement. Furthermore, his strong character, which is not always manageable, is another factor not to be underestimated. In any case, the waltz of European attackers, which will start with the arrival of Mbappe to the real Madridwill certainly see the young striker born in Lagos as the undisputed protagonist.
