Naples has the cards in hand. Italian champions last season and authors of a formidable campaign in the Champions League, the Neapolitans have the possibility of starting another year with the same nucleus. Unless Victor Osimhen, the man with 26 achievements in 32 Serie A games in 2022-2023, were to leave the club. Indeed, the Nigerian is courted, and even if a departure is not necessarily on the agenda, the Kylian Mbappé saga could well have repercussions on the future of the Napoli striker.
Not wishing to prolong the adventure at Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappé has a good chance of leaving the capital. If so, the Parisians will have to replace him, and how. Victor Osimhen, followed by PSG for many months, would represent a reliable lead to compensate for the departure of KM7. So, Aurelio De Laurentiis, president of Napoli, remains attentive: “I hope Osimhen will wear these (Italian) shirts, but if he doesn’t, a very strong player will arrive and can replace him. Anyway, I think Victor will stay for another year. The only club that could cash in is PSG. If Al-Khelaifi wants to pay around 200 million, we will wait and think…”, he said at a press conference during the presentation of the new Azzurri shirts. The message is clear, in the event of a fabulous offer, Naples would not be completely closed to the idea of selling its 24-year-old striker.
