Heading: Victor Osimhen’s Future Hangs in the Balance as Clubs Circle
Victor Osimhen, the talented Nigerian striker, has become the center of attention for several top European clubs this summer. With an impressive performance last season, where he scored 14 goals in Serie A for Napoli, Osimhen has caught the eye of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain. However, according to former Napoli midfielder Salvatore Bagni, Osimhen is only willing to join two clubs this summer.
Heading: Osimhen’s Stellar Season Puts Him in High Demand
Osimhen’s outstanding performance last season has made him one of Europe’s most deadly finishers. With a total of 31 goals in 39 games across all competitions, he played a crucial role in Napoli’s triumph in Serie A after 33 years. This remarkable achievement has attracted the attention of top clubs across Europe, who are now vying for his signature.
Heading: France and Germany Not on Osimhen’s Radar
According to Salvatore Bagni, Osimhen is not interested in returning to France or Germany, as he has already played there. This rules out a potential move to Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich, leaving only a handful of clubs in the running for his signature.
Heading: Champions League Ambitions Rule Out Liverpool and Chelsea
Bagni also stated that Osimhen is not considering Liverpool or Chelsea as potential destinations because these clubs are not playing in the Champions League. This narrows down the options even further, leaving only two clubs that fit the bill for the talented striker.
Heading: Manchester United and Real Madrid Favorites for Osimhen
Bagni believes that Osimhen would only consider joining Manchester United or Real Madrid. Both clubs have a rich history in European football and regularly compete in the Champions League. Manchester United, in particular, has made signing a new No.9 their priority this summer and is actively pursuing Osimhen. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and the lackluster performance of loan signing Wout Weghorst, United is in desperate need of a prolific striker.
Heading: Napoli Open to Offers, but Keen to Keep Osimhen
While Osimhen’s future hangs in the balance, Napoli is keen to hold on to their prized possession. President Aurelio de Laurentiis has revealed that they have already discussed a two-year extension of Osimhen’s contract. However, he also acknowledged that if an irresistible offer were to come in for the good of Napoli, they would consider it.
Heading: Conclusion
Victor Osimhen’s exceptional season has put him in high demand among top European clubs. While several clubs are interested in signing him, Osimhen is only willing to join Manchester United or Real Madrid. With Napoli open to offers but eager to retain their star striker, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining Osimhen’s future.
