According to an Italian publication, Napoli Magazine, the Serie A are already in search of Osimhen’s replacement and Man United and Chelsea are currently the two clubs competing for the 24-year-old signature.
According to the Italian website, “Manchester United and Chelsea are not afraid of the amount that Aurelio De Laurentiis will ask for Osimhen, that is €120m (£107m). If the Nigerian striker goes to the Premier League, Giuntoli and his staff are already working on a couple of profiles.”
The Nigerian signed for the Partenopei in the summer of 2020 from LOSC Lille.
However, Osimhen has taken his game to the next level in the current campaign. In 20 appearances in all competitions, the striker has found the back of the net 15 times and has provided four assists.
Napoli are flying high at the moment and are currently at the top of the Serie A table, on course to win their first Scudetto in 33 years. The Partenopei were also excellent in the Champions League campaign due to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the round of 16.
