Osimhen To Leave Napoli, Unsure Of Next Move

Victor Osimhen is sure of not returning to Napoli ahead of next season, but the player and the club are currently at a crossroads over where he will play next season, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

According to a report via Sports Mole, Serie A champions Napoli are rooting for the Nigerian striker to join Liverpool during the summer transfer window, but the player is currently favouring a move to their Italian rivals Juventus.

Osimhen has been the subject of a summer move away from Napoli, after completing a loan spell at Galatasaray where he scored 37 goals plus eight assists in 41 games across all competitions.

Osimhen’s Napoli contract – which expires next summer – contains a release clause set at €75m (£64.2m), but that option is supposedly only valid for foreign clubs, meaning that Juventus would have to directly negotiate a fee with their Calcio rivals.
