The people of Naples have shown me a lot of love and kindness, and I won’t let anyone come between us.”he said.

“The passion of the people of Naples pushes me to always play with my heart and soul, and my love for the crest is unwavering, because I wear it with prideadds the former Lille player, who remains on two goals in two Serie A matches, against Udinese (4-1) and Lecce (4-0). The accusations against the people of Naples are false. I have many Neapolitan friends who are part of my family and my daily life. »
Chelsea on the prowl?
And the Napoli scorer concluded: “I appreciate Nigerians and all those who lent their voice to support me and reach out to me. Thank you very much, I will always be grateful. Let’s continue to spread unity, respect and understanding. Forza Napoli Semper. » Not a word, on the other hand, for his club which, after broadcasting this compromising video, defended itself by claiming not to have “never meant to offend or make fun” from him.
His relationship with the leaders of the reigning Italian champions would still be frosty and it would not be surprising to see Victor Osimhen pack up this winter. During the summer transfer window, the Partenopei rejected all proposals concerning him, but if a club came back next January with an offer of around 100 million euros, the situation could change. Will Chelsea, who would be on the lookout, take out the checkbook again?
