Italian Serie A side, Napoli have confirmed receiving calls from several clubs expressing their interest to sign Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen but further clarified that no concrete offer has been tabled so far.
The 23-year-old skillful goal scorer was in great form for the Naple based side, helping them to finish third in the top-flight last campaign, and has attracted a host of top European clubs in the current transfer window.
According to club’s director, Cristiano Giuntoli, the Partenopei have great expectations for Osimhen ahead of the new campaign.
“No offers for Osimhen too, but only calls to express interest,” Giuntoli told Sky Sport Italia as quoted by Football Italia. “Everyone knows we have great expectations and he still has three years left on his contract.
“We’ve received many calls, but not offers.”
So far, Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Arsenal are among the teams being linked with the transfer of the former Lille striker. In a recent interview, Napoli coach, Luciano Spalletti called on Osimhen to be more consistent in the new campaign.
“Victor [Osimhen] is an incredibly talented player,” said Spalletti adding: “I expect consistent performances from him. We’re yet to get the best out of his ability on aerial balls in the box.”
