Aurelio De Laurentiis, the president of Napoli, has made it clear that he is not willing to let go of Victor Osimhen unless he receives a huge offer for the Nigerian striker. This statement comes after rumors have been circulating about interest from some of Europe’s top clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Barcelona.
According to reports from Sporty9ja, Napoli has placed a price tag of €180million (₦150billion) on Osimhen’s head, which is a hefty sum for any team to pay. However, this is not surprising given that Osimhen has been in excellent form for Napoli since his arrival from Lille last summer.
The 22-year-old striker has scored 10 goals in 21 appearances for Napoli in all competitions this season, including a hat-trick in a 4-0 win over Atalanta. Osimhen’s impressive performances have also earned him a place in the Nigerian national team, where he has scored five goals in his last six appearances.
Osimhen’s potential has not gone unnoticed by some of Europe’s top clubs, with Manchester United and Liverpool both reportedly interested in signing him. However, it remains to be seen whether any team will be willing to pay Napoli’s €180million price tag for the Nigerian striker.
De Laurentiis’ statement suggests that Napoli is not interested in selling Osimhen unless they receive an offer that is too good to refuse. This is not surprising given that Osimhen has quickly become a key player for Napoli, and his departure would be a significant loss for the Italian Serie A champions.
Overall, it is clear that Osimhen’s future at Napoli remains uncertain, and it is likely that we will see more rumors and speculation about his potential transfer in the coming months. However, one thing is for sure – if any team wants to sign Osimhen, they will need to be prepared to pay a huge sum of money to do so.
