Osimhen to Napoli Almost Done
Napoli has made their last move to convince the agent of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen who is linked to Liverpool and Manchester United, they are trying to propose a contract for his client. The Serie A side is Osimhen’s preferred destination, but a change of agent has stalled progress on a move and other clubs have spied an opportunity.
Liverpool and Manchester United have expressed their interest in Osimhen, but for now, the attacker has been clear that he wants to move to the Italian side from Lille although he said racism in Italy could hinder his move to the club. Now Napoli has made what is their last move to convince Osimhen’s new agent, according to reports from the Italian daily.
Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has told Osimhen’s agent, William D’Avila, that Napoli will pay his client €1m extra per year for every year of the proposed five-year contract. The Italian giants are clear that they will not go any higher for Osimhen. As such the ball is now in the agent’s court to make a decision on whether the terms are acceptable for his client.
And Osimhen’s other suitors will be watching developments closely as they wait to potentially step in if a switch to Napoli cannot be concluded. The 21-year-old scored 18 goals in his derby season with the French Ligue One side Lille.
