Victor Osimhen is poised to depart Napoli next summer, as revealed by club president Aurelio De Laurentiis, who disclosed that the striker is destined for a move to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, or a top English club. De Laurentiis affirmed that Osimhen’s impending transfer was already anticipated during the summer negotiations for his new contract, emphasizing the amicable nature of those discussions.
The star striker, who played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph with 26 goals last season, opted for a contract extension last month, ostensibly to safeguard his market value. De Laurentiis explicitly mentioned Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and the Premier League as potential destinations for Osimhen, triggering heightened interest from clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
Osimhen himself acknowledged his decisive stance on the matter, stating in a CBS interview that he has “already made up my mind” about his future. Amid swirling rumors, particularly about a potential move to the Premier League, Osimhen expressed awareness of the speculation, attributing it to being recognized as one of the foremost strikers globally. He acknowledged the prominence of the English Premier League and outlined his determination to finish the current season strongly before embarking on a well-deserved break with his daughter. Osimhen concluded by affirming that he is poised to implement the decisions he has meticulously crafted throughout his career.
