Napoli are now well within reach of the Italian league title, and they are in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time ever and are in the easier part of the pool. However, they are slowly having to address the interest in their stars. One of them is Victor Osimhen, but he won’t be cheap at all.
28 competitive games, 23 goals, 5 assists. According to Transfermarkt, a value of 70 million euros. One of the main drivers of his team. Victor Osimhen is simply having an excellent season.
The Nigerian striker is one of the reasons why Napoli can win the Italian league title after 33 long years. He has been giving excellent performances and has also been praised by opposing coaches, for example Jose Mourinho.
Moreover, Osimhen sets an example for the whole team. He is one of the biggest stars, yet he never once made a single bad gesture when he was substituted and Giovanni Simeone headed onto the pitch instead.
Moreover, Osimhen confirms his great character even in the moments when Simeone scores a goal and secures a victory for the team. In short, he is a team player, he doesn’t cause problems in the cabinet and he demonstrates human qualities in addition to his playing qualities.
He is one of the best strikers of today and at 24 years of age, his best is yet to come. He has a contract in Naples until the summer of 2025 and the question is whether he will really last that long under Vesuvius.
Manchester United are interested in him, but there is also speculation about Chelsea and Tottenham. Some media also mention Real Madrid. But bringing Osimhen in will cost everyone a lot of money.
According to Il Mattino, the Partenopei are demanding 140 to 150 million euros for their gem. Otherwise, his sale is out of the question. And the fact that Napoli can keep their stars is confirmed by the fact that players like Kalidou Koulibaly and Marek Hamsik have lasted so long in the team.
Moreover, Osimhen won’t be pushing for a transfer. He is very happy in Naples, the fans love him, Italy is just a perfect fit for him.
