Naples could have received a huge check by selling Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the summer of 2024. But at the request of Antonio Conte, newly appointed coach, president Aurelio de Laurentiis refused PSG’s €200 million proposal. It ended despite everything with the sale of the Georgian for €70 million the following winter, while Osimhen had been exfiltrated by Galatasaray. In an interview with The Athletic, De Laurentiis returned to this episode.
“When we started with Conte, we received an offer of 200 million euros from PSG and other clubs to sell Victor Osimhen and Kvara together. Conte said: “You can sell Osimhen, but especially not Kvara.” This was a big mistake, because I later had problems with Kvara’s father and agent. In football, an agent is a real vampire who sucks up everyone’s money.he said, with his usual frankness. He also gave his vision of modern football.
