In a shocking turn of events, Napoli’s prolific striker Victor Osimhen has expressed his desire to leave the Serie A club.
This revelation comes from Giovanni Manna, a high-ranking director at Napoli.
According to Manna, Osimhen’s request to depart is not a new development, as the Nigerian forward could have left the club last summer. However, the absence of concrete offers has kept him at Napoli until now.
Manna stated, “Victor Osimhen has asked to leave the club. He wants to go. The situation is clear; there were already chances for his exit last summer. Victor wants to leave. We will see in the next 20 days.”
In anticipation of Osimhen’s departure, Napoli has secured a deal with Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku to bolster their attacking lineup ahead of the new season. The move is seen as a strategic replacement, ensuring Napoli’s competitiveness in the upcoming campaign.
