Victor Osimhen, Napoli’s striker, has been the center of attention for many clubs due to his exceptional performance in the Italian top-flight. Despite Napoli’s exit from the Champions League quarter-finals, Osimhen has stood out as one of the best scorers in Serie A, with an impressive record of 21 goals in just 24 appearances.
Osimhen has received interest from several major clubs in Europe, including Manchester United, Chelsea, PSG, and Bayern Munich. Given his desire to play in the English Premier League, Manchester United and Chelsea may have a slight advantage in the competition to sign him. However, Bayern Munich could be a viable option for him since they are in need of a new No.9, and Osimhen still has fond memories of playing in the Bundesliga. Additionally, should he move to Munich, he would have a clear path to winning the Champions League.
Despite the interest from other clubs, Osimhen has hinted that he may stay at Napoli, which doesn’t come as a surprise, considering his valuation of €100 million. He has also emphasized his appreciation for the club and the City‘s affection towards him, saying, “I’m at a great club, and my career is growing constantly. We always thought we could do something exceptional, even when nobody else believed we could. The affection from the City is extraordinary, I have never received so much love. I can’t wait to celebrate with them at the stadium.”
Osimhen’s performances have shown that he is capable of playing at the highest level and against the toughest of opponents. In his career, he has played in two Europa League and two Champions League campaigns, scoring 11 goals in 19 games, which works out at an equally impressive 0.69 goals per 90 minutes. His remarkable consistency in European competitions demonstrates that he is a highly skilled striker who can compete against the best players in the World.
Although Osimhen’s goal-scoring form for Napoli this season is highly impressive, it is worth pointing out that he had a much lower tally in his previous seasons in Italy, which is consistent with his spell in Ligue 1 and the Belgian Jupiler Pro League. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether this season is the start of Osimhen taking his game to a new level or just a noteworthy outlier over the course of his career.
In conclusion, Osimhen’s impressive performances have caught the attention of several major clubs across Europe. While Manchester United, Chelsea, PSG, and Bayern Munich have expressed keen interest, it remains to be seen where he will end up this summer. It’s clear that Osimhen has the potential to succeed at the highest level, and wherever he ends up, fans are sure to be keeping a close eye on him.
