Napoli have reportedly informed Arsenal that they are open to selling Victor Osimhen, but only under a strict condition that has left Gunners’ manager Mikel Arteta less than pleased. The talented Nigerian striker has been on Arsenal’s radar for months as they search for an elite attacking option to bolster their squad.
However, Napoli’s demands appear to be a sticking point. While the specifics of the condition remain unclear, it’s said to have caused hesitation within Arsenal’s camp, particularly with Arteta, who is keen on maintaining his strategic plans without disruption. The condition may involve a financial clause or a stipulation impacting the composition of the squad, and sources suggest it does not align with Arteta’s vision.
Despite the concerns, Arsenal’s Sporting Director is keen to push forward with negotiations. Osimhen is regarded as one of the best strikers in the world, and the opportunity to sign him is too significant to pass up, especially with competition from other elite European clubs looming.
The Gunners must now decide whether to meet Napoli’s demands or risk losing out on a game-changing acquisition that could elevate their chances in the Premier League and Europe. Negotiations remain ongoing, with fans anxiously awaiting updates.
