  • Osimhen who still has three years left in his Napoli is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs
  • The Super Eagles' 23-year-old striker scored 14 goals in 29 league appearances for Napoli last season

There are several indications that Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will remain at Napoli this season despite several clubs showing interest in signing him.

According to transfer market journalist Fabrizio Romano, who was quoting Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, it will only take a huge bid for the Serie A club to sell Osimhen.

“There’s no bid for Osimhen… we’ve received some calls to explore the situation. Huge, really huge bid is needed to sell Osimhen,” Guintoli said in a quote relayed by transfer market Fabrizio Romano.

Last season, Osimhen scored 14 goals in 29 league appearances for Napoli.

Man United eye summer move for Victor Osimhen as a replacement for Ronaldo

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly emerged as a summer transfer target for Premier League side Manchester United who are preparing for the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Last season in all competitions, Manchester United relied on Cristiano Ronaldo to deliver the goals for them, and the Portugal international did not disappoint even though the club did not win any title.

Also, Manchester United failed to qualify for the Champions League and this has thrown Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Old Trafford into serious doubt.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner wants to continue his football in the Champions League as he has never in his career played in the Europa League. The Red Devils are now considering the option of replacing the football legend with young striker Osimhen.

Victor Osimhen has netted 28 goals and registered nine assists in 62 outings so far for Napoli.
