Napoli Director Giovanni Manna has confirmed that Victor Osimhen will leave the club this summer. Despite strong interest from PSG, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal, a deal has yet to be finalized. With the transfer window closing soon, Osimhen’s next move is imminent.
Napoli's Director Giovanni Manna has confirmed that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen will be leaving the club this summer. This announcement comes amid ongoing speculation about Osimhen’s future, with top European clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal showing significant interest in the 25-year-old forward.
Despite intense negotiations, PSG has been unable to meet Napoli’s steep €130 million valuation for Osimhen, leading to stalled discussions. Although there were reports of Osimhen agreeing on personal terms with PSG, the deal failed to materialize. With PSG’s pursuit currently in limbo, Arsenal and Chelsea appear to be the frontrunners to secure the striker's services.
Fabrizio Romano, a renowned transfer expert, relayed Manna’s confirmation that Osimhen is determined to leave Napoli. “Victor Osimhen has asked to leave the club. He wants to go,” Manna stated. He further noted, “The situation is clear, there were already chances for his exit last summer. Victor wants to leave, we will see in the next 20 days.”
As the transfer window approaches its end in late August, time is of the essence for both Osimhen and Napoli. The club faces mounting pressure to finalize the transfer so they can plan for the upcoming season. The next few weeks will be crucial in determining where Osimhen’s future lies and how Napoli will navigate the transfer market.
