Italian football agent Oscar Damiani has expressed his belief that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is unlikely to leave Napoli during the upcoming summer transfer window. Damiani, known for his extensive knowledge of the Italian football market, cited the difficulty for any club to meet Napoli’s asking price as the main reason for Osimhen’s expected stay.
Osimhen has been in scintillating form for Napoli throughout the season, catching the attention of top European clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain. However, Damiani’s assessment suggests that securing the Nigerian’s services may prove to be a daunting task for any potential suitors.
In response to Osimhen’s impressive performances, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis recently placed a staggering €150 million price tag on the prolific striker. Damiani, on the other hand, dismissed the likelihood of any club being willing to pay such an exorbitant fee for the 24-year-old forward.
Speaking to Napoli Magazine, Damiani stated, “There is no club in the world that can really offer this money (€150 million) to Napoli. I’m sure Osimhen will stay another year in blue and will continue to be a point of reference for the club.”
Osimhen’s impact has been undeniable, as he has netted an impressive 28 goals in 36 appearances across all competitions under the guidance of Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti this season. His goalscoring prowess and ability to contribute to the team’s success have established him as a vital asset for the Partenopei.
While clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain have shown a keen interest in acquiring Osimhen’s services, it appears that Napoli’s demanding valuation may deter any potential transfers this summer. As the Nigerian forward continues to thrive in his current environment, Napoli fans can look forward to witnessing his further exploits in the forthcoming season.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the future of Victor Osimhen remains a subject of intense speculation. However, according to Oscar Damiani, it seems increasingly likely that the highly talented striker will remain with Napoli, providing the club with a consistent source of goals and contributing to their continued success on the pitch.
