The Nigerian was a standout player for Napoli during his tenure, and he contributed to the team’s first Serie A championship in almost thirty years last season.
He kept on scoring goals on a regular basis, and Europe took notice.
A lot of English teams are hoping to purchase a new number nine this summer.
Chelsea has not yet entered the market as they attempt to find a solution for their issues in the final third, while United has finally reached an agreement to acquire Rasmus Hojlund.
They have been keeping an eye on Osimhen this summer, since the player has expressed his opinions regarding the Blues and England’s premier league.
“I don’t have a favorite Premier League team, but I have two shirts: Chelsea and Man United,” he stated on The Obi One podcast.
Fewer of my buddies are Man United supporters than Chelsea ones.
” “The Premier League is the tournament most loved by all African players—it’s a big tournament,” Osimhen continued.
Osimhen scored six goals in ten games this season, shattering the 30-goal record for the first time last season.
Earlier in the season, the player and his team got into a fight over a TikTok video that seemed to make fun of the striker as he took a penalty. Since then, the matter has been settled, and Osimhen has emphasized his loyalty to the Italian side.
Nonetheless, Napoli has demonstrated over the years that they are prepared to leave with their best player for a sizable sum of money, and interest in the striker is still high.
This summer, as Saudi Arabian teams start to target European talent while also bolstering their financial power, the Nigerian football player needs to take into consideration a substantial offer from Al-Hilal.
In the end, Osimhen stayed, but he acknowledged that it was difficult to decline such “crazy” numbers.
It’s true what was mentioned, he admitted.
Since Napoli wanted to keep me, to be honest, I never gave leaving any thought until the offer from Saudi Arabia became too good to do no.
After speaking with Napoli, I chose to remain.
