“we will see what is going to happen, but that is not up to me. It is for the club to decide”
In terms of leaving the Serie A team this summer, Victor Osimhen has not ruled anything out. The £ 107 million-rated Napoli striker has been in fantastic form this year. He has made 23 appearances and has 19 goals and 4 assists.
Osimhen, 24, is Chelsea’s and Manchester United’s top target for 2023, and both teams are well-known admirers of the player.
Osimhen, a Nigerian international with a deal that goes through 2025, had 18 goals in just 19 league appearances this season for Napoli, and some of Europe’s top teams are interested in signing him after the season.
The Nigerian, along with Marcus Rashford of Manchester United, is one of the most exciting forwards in the game right now, Victor Osimhen scored his 20th goal of the season as Napoli beat 10-man Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

Asked about the interest being shown in him, Osimhen told ESPN: “When you are doing so well, top clubs around the world are watching, mostly in the top five leagues. And to be able to attract interest from these top clubs shows that I am doing great and it gives me the motivation to do even more for myself and my team.”
“But I am focused on Napoli right now and they have the final say. I just want to help my team to win matches and win trophies. At the end of the season, we will see what is going to happen, but that is not up to me. It is for the club to decide.”
With 18 of his 19 goals coming in league play, Osimhen is presently in position to win the Serie A Golden Boot, but the striker is adamant that he is unconcerned about recognition.
Osimhen reached his 100th career goal on Friday in a win over Sassuolo, accomplishing it quicker than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He had scored in seven straight Serie A games, a feat no Napoli player had accomplished since 1995
