The future of Victor Osimhen at Napoli might be in doubt but the club appear not to be bothered over it and have started making plans for how the team will look like next season with the Nigerian still leading their attack, OGN understands.
Osimhen is the top scorer in the Italian Serie A with 19 goal for Napoli but with two years left to run on his deal other clubs are weighing up the option of having the Nigeria, although Napoli insist his future is still at the club.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport, the sporting director of Napoli Cristiano Giuntoli has identified Atalanta wing forward Ademola Lookman as one of the players to pair Osimhen in the attack of the champions elect of the Serie A.
Lookman has 12 goals in 24 Serie A games this season in what is his first season at the club following his permanent transfer from German side RB Leipzig. Napoli have plans of improving their attack and he is among a shortlist of three names.
“Giuntoli would have set his sights on three players currently with Atalanta. The first is Koopmeiners, an old acquaintance, if you like, from Napoli who had targeted him since his AZ days”, a report on the site reads.
“He will almost certainly not be at Maradona due to a physical problem, but his name is among the first to strengthen the midfield today. Then there are the goalscoring twins Hojlund and Lookman”, it concluded.
