Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis says it would take a ‘more than indecent offer’ for Victor Osimhen to be sold this summer, believing the striker will stay with the club.
The 24-year-old has attracted a lot of attention thanks to his performances for Napoli, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain all credited with interest in his signature.
That is no surprise after he scored 31 goals in 39 games in all competitions last season, taking his tally to 59 in 101 games since signing for Napoli in 2019.
De Laurentiis did not rule out the sale of his star striker, but did insist that it would take an enormous bid for an exit to be considered.
Speaking at the launch of Napoli’s new kit, the club president said: ‘Osimhen will absolutely wear this new jersey.
‘If a more than indecent offer were to come in, then we’d get over it and would be able to find other talents. Don’t worry, here there is the Azzurri passion that enflames our hearts.’
Osimhen has also made it clear that he is happy at Napoli after they won the Serie A title last season in style.
In an interview with SoccerNet, Osimhen said: ‘I have never seen a city crazier about football like the way the Neapolitans are.
‘They show all their players love. And wherever I go to, I am being respected. Kids love me, a lot of people admire me, they idolize me by putting on the replica of my mask.
‘It shows the hard work I have given to them and what I mean to them. And for me, there’s no better place to be than this place.
‘I am so happy I made the right choice by coming here. And achieving this kind of greatness with the Neapolitans is something that I will wake up and always smile about.
‘My children’s children will come into this world and realise that their father has done something amazing.’
