Osimhen keen on leaving Napoli, despite zero approach from interested clubs

No clubs have yet made an approach for Nigerian talisman Victor Osimhen, despite Napoli’s hopes to sell him this summer.

While Osimhen is keen on leaving, Napoli may have to reevaluate their options surrounding the Nigerian.

Reports throughout the 2023/24 season suggest that Napoli are prepared to cash in on Osimhen this summer, with Chelsea Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United initially showing interest.

This comes after he led the club’s goalscoring charts for the past two seasons, including in the Scudetto-winning 2022/23 campaign.

Recall last year December, the 25-year-old penned a new deal with Napoli running until the summer of 2026.

Terms of the deal is what has posed a huge challenge for interested clubs to make an offer, as it includes a release clause believed to be in the region of €120m-€130m.

However, the lack of interest has not changed the player’s mind either, as he insists on leaving the Naples club.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that, “Victor Osimhen’s plan is still to leave Napoli this summer as movement is expected soon.

He added that after a quiet June, “Napoli expect proposals to arrive for Osimhen as he could be on the move; the release clause is around €120m. Preference for Premier League but story still open.”
