Napoli are facing the prospect of losing Nigeria international forward Victor Osimhen before the end of the current transfer window with the striker yet to agree to an extension of his contract, which has two years to go, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Last season Osimhen’s goals powered Napoli to their first league title in 33 years. A feat which saw him attain a hero status in the city of Naples with fans and teammates keen on him staying at the club longer than the remaining years on his deal.
Talks over an extension will resume when he returns for pre season this weekend, but one man who isn’t ready to come to terms with the fact that the Nigerian will likely leave the team this summer is the Trento police commissioner Maurizio Improta.
” Would I arrest Osimhen? No, for heaven’s sake. But I would put him in handcuffs to keep him at Napoli for life. I would tie him to the opponent’s goal, so as to always find him in position close to goal”, he said jokingly to Corriere dello Sport.
