Serie A giants Napoli have confirmed that Victor Osimhen has asked to leave the club and has handed in a transfer request.
Napoli take on Modena in their upcoming Coppa Italia clash later today and club sporting director Giovanni Manna spoke to SportmediaSet ahead of the tie.
He revealed that Osimhen has asked to leave, but the club is calm about the situation (via CN24)
He said: “He asked to leave, we are calm because we have players in the squad who can replace him in the best way. However, we do not want to harm the integrity of the group and want to preserve it. We will see what will happen in the next few days.”
Osimhen has been linked with multiple clubs this summer but no one has come forward to meet his asking price. Paris Saint-Germain didn’t value him at the same amount as PSG, with Chelsea having pulled out after they agreed to sign Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid.
Arsenal perhaps remain and option and so does Saudi Arabia but it remains to be seen if Osimhen would like to move away from Europe, as the clock ticks down this summer.
