Napoli’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has announced that star forward Victor Osimhen will depart from the club when the 2023-24 season concludes.
Osimhen was rumored to leave Napoli last summer after scoring 26 goals in Serie A, contributing to their first league title win since 1990. However, the 25-year-old recently renewed his contract with Napoli, seemingly to safeguard his market value.
De Laurentiis confirmed that Osimhen is poised for a significant summer transfer. He mentioned Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and the Premier League as potential destinations.
“We knew he would go to Real Madrid, PSG, or a top English club.” De Laurentiis (h/t The Mirror).
PSG brought in two strikers this past summer, but neither Randal Kolo Muani nor Gonçalo Ramos has established himself as manager Luis Enrique’s No. 1 striker. As a result, sporting advisor Luis Campos could move on from one or both players to make room for a move for Osimhen.
If Kylian Mbappe chooses to leave this year, Paris Saint-Germain must find someone to fill his shoes and keep up the goal-scoring. The player from Napoli could be a perfect fit as his replacement.
