As Victor Osimhen continue to grab the headlines with his performances for Napoli this season, his future at the Serie A side has also been in the news lately.
Osimhen will have two more years to run on his deal at Napoli at the end of this season and with no report of the club having an option of extending, talks over a new deal is expected to happen in June.
Teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and PSG have all been credited with an interest in the Nigerian and are monitoring his situation, but according to his agent Roberto Calenda, his client is very settled and happy at the Estádio Diego Armando Maradona stadium.
His statement is factual with Napoli not in a hurry to let go of the 24 year old but with president Aurelio De Laurentiis insisting on not exceeding a certain salary cap. They will find it hard to hang on to the forward if he receives a mind blowing financial offer elsewhere.
Napoli will be open to doing a deal for Osimhen if an offer of €140m is lodged according to an agent who was quoted by Italian news outlet II Mattino. “What an auction, everyone is crazy about Osimhen: Napoli values him at 140 million”, an agent was quoted as saying by the news outfit.
Yesterday he was however unable to rescue Napoli from crashing out of the Coppa Italia as they were beaten 4-5 on penalties by fellow Serie A side Cremonense. He was introduced in the second half of the game which ended 2-2 after extra time.
