Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the transfer decision for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who is wanted by clubs including Chelsea and Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window.
Osimhen has been linked with a move to the Premier League for months and, in an interview with CBS Sports, hinted he was ready to leave Serie A this summer, despite having signed a new contract with Napoli. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that is indeed the case in a statement that will set the Premier League on fire.
The Premier League is panicking
“ What’s the decision ? Decision is to leave in summer transfer window », Romano said on his YouTube channel. “ Osimhen, from what I hear, thinks that his cycle, his extraordinary work in Naples, winning the Scudetto, scoring a lot of goals, is now over. He will finish the season in Naples and leave next summer. This is the player’s priority. »
“ In January he won’t be going anywhere, but in the summer there will be interest again from Saudi Arabia, from Chelsea, who must remain in the conversation for Victor Osimhen, and from Arsenal as well . It is certain that Victor Osimhen, with this important statement, this bombshell, made it clear that he would be available on the market during the summer transfer window to try a new experience. »
Osimhen, who is Arsenal and Chelsea’s dream option, is expected to cost €120 million, the value of the release clause in his new contract with Napoli, after making a statement on Tuesday which suggested but did not confirm that he was open to a transfer. “At the end of the season, I think I have already made my decision,” said the Nigeria international. I already know what I want to do with my career, since I started I have made my own decisions and everything is going well for me. Although, when I started, it didn’t go as planned. But I already have my plan, I already know what I want to do, the next step I want to take. For now, I just want to finish the season strong, go relax somewhere with my daughter and finally make the decision I’ve already made. »
