Undeniably one of the biggest revelations of this season, not only in Italy but in Europe in general, is the 25-year-old (born 29/12/1998 in Lagos) Nigerian centre-forward of Napoli, Victor Osimhen. The tall striker causes panic in every game and is rightly watched by the biggest teams on the planet. So all this shows that at some point the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis will get several million euros from his sale.
Manchester United and Chelsea
have shown interest in the forward of the Partenopei, but recently
Paris Saint-Germain also entered the game strongly. The French team, which failed to qualify for the
UEFA Champions League again this year, is said to be determined to give many millions from its coffers again in order to strengthen its team even more in the summer.
In fact, the president and owner of Paris Saint-Germain Nasser El Khelaifi intends to checkmate the move by offering Napoli an amount of 150,000,000 euros to include him in their team.
In fact, the French team is said to be determined to make radical changes next summer, culminating in the departure of Neymar (perhaps even Messi if the Argentine wants it), while other contracts are "expiring", including Sergio Ramos, who, however, sent his his message to the management that he wants to renew.
On 31 July 2020,Serie A club Napoli announced the signing of Osimhen, for a club-record fee of €70 million potentially rising to €80 million with add-ons, making him the most expensive African transfer to date. On 17 October, Osimhen scored his first goal for Napoli in a 4–1 win against Atalanta. Upon scoring, he held up a shirt calling for the ending of the ongoing police brutality in his home country of Nigeria.
On 13 November, during an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game played whilst on international break with Nigeria, Osimhen was stretchered off injured.This was then diagnosed as a shoulder injury that would keep Osimhen away from the playing field for two months.
While recovering from the injury, Osimhen was authorized by his club to spend time in his home country, where he got a chance to celebrate his birthday. It was during these birthday celebrations that it is believed Osimhen contracted the Covid 19 virus, as he tested positive upon returning to Naples. This positive test, together with his shoulder injury, kept Osimhen away from action until his return to the side on 29 January 2021, when he was subbed on for around twenty minutes of Napoli's Coppa Italia win against Spezia.
Now Osimhen is in excellent physical and psychological condition and is leading Napoli to the championship, 33 years after their last success with Diego Maradona...
