Former Napoli and Argentina striker, Carlos Sosa, has made his recommendation for a suitable striker to replace Victor Osimhen, should he leave Napoli. Sosa, who played for Napoli between 2004 and 2008, scoring 28 goals in 116 games, has recommended Giovanni Simeone as the ideal candidate to replace Osimhen.
Osimhen has been linked with Manchester United, Paris Saint-German, Chelsea, and Real Madrid, and it is believed that he may leave the Diego Amando Maradona Stadium. Sosa, who was interviewed by Area Napoli, believes that if Osimhen does leave, Napoli should bring in Giovanni Simeone, who is the son of Atlético Madrid boss, Diego Simeone.
According to Sosa, Simeone, who scored nine goals in 33 appearances for Napoli last season, would be an excellent replacement for Osimhen. He also recommended that Rasmus Winther Højlund, who currently plays for Atalanta, should be brought in as a strike partner to learn from Simeone before becoming a force in Naples.
Sosa believes that if Napoli decides to say yes to the offers for Osimhen, they should struggle to bet on Hojlund as a starter. Instead, they should take Hojlund as a backup and make Simeone the starter. Between Raspadori, Simeone, and Hojlund, Sosa would absolutely play the Argentine, as he is at the head of his preferences.
In conclusion, with Victor Osimhen’s future at Napoli uncertain, the club needs to find a suitable replacement. Carlos Sosa’s recommendation of Giovanni Simeone seems to be a wise choice, as he has the experience and talent to step up and fill Osimhen’s shoes. Only time will tell if Napoli decides to follow Sosa’s recommendation and bring in Simeone.
