Top Transfer Expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed he knows where Victor Osimhen will play next season.
Top clubs from across Europe, from Manchester United and Chelsea to Juventus, are already jostling for the prized signature of the 26-year-old striker.
Romano was guest of ‘Viva el Futbol’ and he spoke at length on the likely destination of the Napoli striker in the summer when his loan deal at Galatasaray is up.
He said Osimhen has continued to be linked with the top clubs in the Premier League, but the No 1 priority for the striker is to maintain his 11-12 Million Euros-year salary and the player will therefore go to the club who will offer at least this to him.
“I know 100% that Osimhen’s priority is not to go to this or that club, but to maintain the economic conditions of the contract he had agreed with Napoli, 11-12 Million Euros net per season,” Romano said.
“He wanted to maintain that contract and Chelsea never offered that money.
“Chelsea offered 7-8 Million Euros person. That’s the real problem.”
The Transfer Expert continued: “Last summer, Osimhen was ready to go to Saudi Arabia.
“Al Ahli were close to close up on Osimhen on the last day of the transfer window, but Napoli got tempted and raised the price.
“No agreement was reached and Ahli took Ivan Toney.
“Osimhen’s desire was to go to Saudi Arabia, where he will protect his millionaire contract.
“Osimhen’s is mainly an economic issue. Whoever offers the best contract will be able to convince the player.”
