The Italian media was awash with stories about Cristiano Ronaldo joining Napoli yesterday evening. A move which will see Victor Osimhen move in the opposite direction to join Manchester United.
Per a report on Tuttosport, the next big media outlet to report the news after Sky Italy. The move is currently being put together by the agent of Cristiano Ronaldo who is keen for his client to play in the UEFA Champions League. Which is on offer at Napoli.
Jorge Mendes approached Napoli with a smart idea on how the move will happen including how Ronaldo will join on loan while Osimhen will move to Manchester United for a fee of €100m payable in three years. In addition to that Osimhen will earn around £10m a year. A massive upgrade on what he presently earns at Napoli.
Mendes has already identified how Napoli will be able to cope with Ronaldo’s salary of around £23.5m a year. Already the first two months totalling £4m has been paid and for the remaining £20m, he said Man Utd will pay 75% while Napoli takes up the rest.
Already the agent of Osimhen Roberto Calenda has been briefed about the move and while he is keen on his client spending another year with the Italian side. The amount proposed in the deal is forcing him to have a rethink and consider the offer.
Osimhen is also looking very sharp this season with two goals in his first two games of the season. He could however end the rest of the season at a new club if the explanation by Tuttosport is anything to go by.
