Report suggests that Napoli may entertain offers below Osimhen’s release clause, signaling a potential shift in their stance on his sale.
Despite facing injury setbacks and international commitments at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Osimhen has maintained an impressive record, contributing to Napoli’s Serie A campaign with 14-goal involvements in 17 appearances this season.
The 25-year-old’s remarkable form propelled Napoli to their first league victory in 33 years last season, tallying 26 goals in 32 Serie A games and 31 goals across all competitions.
While Osimhen’s scoring prowess for the national team was limited to one goal at the Africa Cup of Nations, his impact played a crucial role in Nigeria’s journey to the tournament final, where they were defeated 2-1 by hosts Ivory Coast.
