Victor Osimhen has been linked with a move away from the Diego Maradona Stadium following Napoli’s Tiktok video controversy
Current Serie A champions Napoli SSC have opened up options for a new forward line-up, with Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus, Atletico Madrid’s Alvaro Morata and LOSC Lille striker Jonathan David among potential replacements for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. It is reported that they are considering it. Soccernet .ng reports.
Osimchen’s future at Napoli has been called into question following the TikTok video controversy, with speculation rife about a possible exit from the Diego Maradona Stadium.
The club has not yet agreed a new contract with Osimhen’s camp, leaving Napoli to consider alternatives.
According to a report from Calciomercato, Napoli are actively looking for a replacement for Osimhen, who is an outstanding scorer, having scored five goals in seven domestic league games in the 2023/24 season.
Osimhen’s contract status remains unclear, despite clear statements from Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis to the media.
His current contract with the club runs until 2025, but talks regarding a contract extension have not resulted in any concrete results.
During the summer transfer window, Osimhen was linked with some of Europe’s top clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Al Hilal.
However, Napoli bid €150 million for the Super Eagles striker, making the move difficult for potential suitors looking for a replacement.
There has been no official statement from Napoli or Osimhen’s camp regarding his future, but speculation continues.
Soccer fans are eagerly awaiting Osimhen’s decision, which could include extending his contract with Napoli or moving in the next transfer window.
