Premier League clubs eyeing Victor Osimhen’s talent may face disappointment as the Nigerian striker has expressed his desire to remain at Napoli
With notable interest from Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool, Osimhen’s exceptional performances last season, scoring 31 goals in 39 appearances, garnered attention across Europe.
Despite being touted as a prime target for top Premier League clubs after his breakout season, Osimhen seems poised to continue his journey with Napoli.
The Italian club, aiming to retain their prized asset, has set a hefty price tag of over £100m for his signature.
In an interview with SoccerNet, Osimhen shared his admiration for Napoli and its passionate fanbase, stating,
“I have never seen a city crazier about football like the way the Neapolitans are.” He highlighted the love and respect he receives from the fans, the adoration of children, and the honor of having his own replica masks worn by supporters.
Osimhen believes there is no better place for him than Napoli, emphasizing the significance of his decision to join the club.
Having played a pivotal role in Napoli’s long-awaited Serie A title victory last season, Osimhen expressed his immense satisfaction, stating,
“And achieving this kind of greatness with the Neapolitans is something that I will wake up and always smile about.” He envisions his legacy extending to future generations, as his children’s children will recognize his remarkable achievements.
Napoli’s triumph in Serie A marked their first league title since 1990, with a previous generation led by the legendary Diego Maradona securing the trophy three years earlier. Osimhen’s commitment to Napoli signals his desire to continue contributing to the club’s success
