Agent Dario Canovi has recently addressed the future of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, stating that Napoli officials are willing to sell the talented Nigerian star for a substantial fee during this summer transfer window.
Osimhen, who previously played for Lille, has attracted significant transfer speculation since April due to his impressive goal-scoring displays at Napoli, where he finished the previous season as the top scorer with 26 goals.
Currently enjoying his holiday in Nigeria, Osimhen has made a memorable impact at Napoli, earning the admiration and support of the club’s fans who hope he will remain with the team.
Osimhen who is currently spending his holiday in Nigeria has recorded his name in the history books at Napoli and the club’s fans want him to stay after winning their hearts.
The 24-year-old who recently scored a brace for the Super Eagles against Sierra Leone has refused to make any valid statement regarding his future at Napoli.
According to the reports on Complete Sports and Daily Post, Canovi made it clear that it will be difficult for Napoli eggheads to keep Osimhen for another season.
Dario Canovi speaks about Osimhen
“Osimhen makes you greedy, football is now business, Osimhen is also worth more than 150 million (euros), so it would be very difficult to resist I think Italian football will lose another great champion to an offer like this.
”Team like Newcastle, but certainly not Liverpool, one of the two from Manchester, or Chelsea, we realize that England is from another football planet.”
The 24-year-old had a remarkable 2023-24 season helping Napoli to the Scudetto for the first time in over three decades, scoring 26 league goals.
He also helped the club reach the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history.
Osimhen also netted a brace as Nigeria defeated Sierra Leone 3-2 in Monrovia to qualify for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations starting in Ivory Coast in January.
