Serie A: Napoli’s manager speaks on Osimhen’s future amid Premier League links

Victor Osimhen may be sold in the near future, according to Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis, who has refused to rule it out.

Osimhen transferred from Ligue 1 club Lille to Naples in 2020, and he has since developed into one of the most dreadful forwards in the world.

Tuesday night’s 2-0 victory over Bundesliga team Eintracht Frankfurt by Napoli marked the 24-year-ninth old’s straight game with a goal.

For the Partenopei this season, the Nigerian has scored 20 times overall in 24 appearances across all competitions.

Osimhen is attracting increasing interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, two powerhouses in the Premier League, who will try to sign him this summer.

Although De Laurentiis acknowledged he would prefer to see Osimhen stay at the club for a very long time, he knows he can’t refuse a tempting offer.

It won’t be tough to keep them here, he said TNT Sports Mexico, since “I am extremely excellent at drafting contracts, so when they come to me, they are blocked.”

“Never the less, be flexible. You never know since there are some offers that you simply cannot pass up. They seem to have a bright future ahead of them.
