Naples is not done with the transfer market. Two weeks before the resumption of the championship, the reigning Italian champion still has to manage some burning issues. Indeed, the Italian team sees Saudi interests multiply for its players, in particular for Victor Osimhen. Victim of his success after a brilliantly completed 2022-2023 fiscal year (26 goals in 32 appearances in Serie A), the Nigerian striker is attracting the interest of Al Hilal. The resident of the Saudi Pro League also got down to business at the end of July by making an XXL offer to the Neapolitans, refused by the latter. At the same time, the Neapolitan management is trying to shield its star, is currently negotiating the renewal of his contract and plans to include a fairly substantial release clause.
For his part, Rudi Garcia is counting on Victor Osimhen for the coming season and has no intention of parting with him. Asked about this by Sky Sportsthe successor of Luciano Spalletti at the head of the Partinopei gave his impressions on the persistent interests of the Saudi clubs around the Nigerian. “Victor Osimhen in Saudi Arabia? There are players who are at the end of their career and you can understand that they are going there. Anyone in the world wouldn’t refuse these indecent offers sometimes. But when you’re a mature player, when your best seasons come, you don’t even look at that. I am not Victor (Osimhen editor’s note), so ask him “, did he declare. Note that Piotr Zielinski was also the subject of an offer from a Saudi club, Ah Ahli. Pending departure since he still has not extended with Napoli, the Pole was not present on the score sheet during the victory against Augsburg (1-0), this Sunday in a friendly.
