Napoli Confirms Osimhen To Join Madrid, PSG Or An EPL Club At The End Of Season

Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker who has spearheaded Napoli’s charge to Serie A title contention, is set for a summer exit, with Napoli confirming his departure to either Real Madrid, PSG, or a Premier League club. The news comes as a blow to Napoli fans who have witnessed Osimhen blossom into one of the most feared attackers in Europe, but also opens up a new chapter in the 25-year-old’s burgeoning career.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis broke the news to CBS, stating, “We knew he would go to Real Madrid, PSG or some Premier League team. He has a release clause of £112 million, and that’s a lot of money for an Italian club.” De Laurentiis also acknowledged Osimhen’s desire to move on, saying, “He has been fantastic for us, but he has ambition, and he wants to play for a big club.”

Osimhen’s departure is sure to be a major talking point in the transfer window. The striker has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 17 goals in 22 Serie A appearances, and his physicality, pace, and finishing ability have attracted the attention of some of the biggest clubs in the world.

Real Madrid have been long-term admirers of Osimhen, and with Karim Benzema nearing the end of his career, the Nigerian could be seen as the perfect heir apparent. PSG are also in the market for a new striker, with Kylian Mbappé’s future uncertain, and Osimhen’s power and directness would fit perfectly into their attacking system.

The Premier League, however, could be the most likely destination for Osimhen. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal have all been linked with the striker, and his ability to adapt to different playing styles would make him a valuable asset for any of these clubs.

Wherever Osimhen ends up, there is no doubt that he will continue to be a force to be reckoned with. He is a player with immense talent and potential, and his next move could see him take his career to even greater heights.

Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille in 2020 for a fee of £70 million.

He has scored 30 goals in 70 appearances for Napoli in all competitions.

Osimhen has also been linked with Bayern Munich and Juventus.

His potential transfer fee could make him one of the most expensive African players of all time.
