Osimhen has already scored 14 goals and made four assists across 19 appearances this season.
Italian journalist, Ciro Vanerato said:
“If Osimhen’s representatives or the footballer show the desire to have new experiences elsewhere, Napoli could sell him for very high figures of €120m or €140m."
Vaneratio also noted the many top clubs keen on Osimhen's signature:
“First and foremost Real Madrid, because Carlo Ancelotti dotes on him, then Manchester United, Tottenham (if Harry Kane leaves), and Chelsea.”
Man United are reportedly looking to improve their attacking department with the signing of the Nigerian striker.
Meanwhile, there are strong indications that Napoli may increase the net pay of the Nigerian, in order to ward off teams from snapping Osimhen up.
