Leading Italian sports newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport said Victor Osimhen made history with Napoli, but also his bitter departure from the club will be remembered.
Three years ago, Osimhen finished as the top scorer of the Italian Serie A as Napoli won the Scudetto again after a very long wait.
However, the relationship between club and player suffered the following season, which eventually led to Osimhen going on loan to Galatasaray.
Gazzetta dello Sport commented: “Not even His majesty Maradona managed to win the Scudetto as top scorer. Osimhen did.
“But in the future when we talk about Victor Osimhen’s years in Campania (Napoli), we won’t only limit ourselves to his prowess on the pitch, because it is inevitable to remember a complicated relationship with the club, which ended in a bitter farewell.”
Osimhen is set to soon complete a transfer to Galatasaray.
