Victor Osimhen, a prominent striker, significantly contributed to Napoli’s Serie A triumph, reminiscent of the Diego Maradona era at the club. However, uncertainties about his future arose after a controversial social media post from the Italian champions, sparking talks about a potential move to Real Madrid.
Despite the ongoing speculation, Osimhen’s goal-scoring prowess remains consistent. He has recorded six goals in ten appearances this season.
His potential transfer to Real Madrid could significantly bolster their squad, especially with the departure of Karim Benzema after last season. Joselu, presently on loan from Espanyol, has performed admirably, but being 33 years old, he might not offer a long-term solution.
Should Osimhen part ways with Napoli, Real Madrid appears keen on securing his services. According to reports from Defensa Central (via The Hard Tackle), the Nigerian striker is inclined to join Los Blancos upon his departure from Napoli.
Osimhen’s proficiency as a top-tier striker makes him an appealing prospect for Real Madrid, provided no unforeseen complications arise. Nevertheless, securing his transfer won’t be straightforward. Napoli is known for being formidable negotiators, and it’s speculated that a fee of around €150 million would be necessary to secure Osimhen’s signature, potentially breaking Real Madrid’s transfer record.
The decision to pursue Osimhen remains uncertain for Real Madrid, especially considering that Chelsea has also been linked with the striker as they seek reinforcements in the attacking department.
