Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has acknowledged striker Victor Osimhen’s statement regarding his future at the club. De Laurentiis confirmed that the club was aware of Osimhen’s decision, which has been a factor in the prolonged negotiations over a new contract.
De Laurentiis also revealed that Osimhen was close to a move last summer, with potential transfers to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, or an unnamed English club on the cards. However, the Nigerian international remained with the Serie A side beyond the transfer window.
Osimhen, known for his pace, strength, and finishing abilities, has been a key player for Napoli since joining from Lille in 2020. His performances have attracted attention from top European clubs, leading to speculation about his future.
