Amid speculations that Victor Osimhen is contemplating staying back at Napoli, former Super Eagles defender Ifeanyi Udeze has warned the striker that a move away from the Serie A club is best for his career.
“I can tell you for free that Osimhen will not be No 1 striker (at Napoli) should they sign (Romelu) Lukaku,” Udeze predicted.
“I don’t trust Antonio Conte (Napoli new coach).
“That’s why he has to find his way out of the club.”
Conte and Lukaku enjoyed Serie A success with Inter Milan in the 2020/2021 season and various reports said Napoli have been pushing to buy the Belgium striker from Chelsea.
At the same time, latest reports have suggested that Osimhen is now having a rethink about quitting Napoli as negotiations between PSG and Napoli have stalled.
The bone of contention is the staggering 130 Million Euros release clause for Osimhen.
PSG are asking that it be lowered significantly, while Napoli are holding out.
Either Randal Kolo Muani or Goncalo Ramos was to make way for Osimhen at the perennial Ligue 1 champions, but none of them is closer to leaving.
Top Transfer Expert Fabrizio Romano has now reported that PSG sports director Luis Campos has now reassured both they will be the team’s strikers in the new season.
