It was gathered that Napoli remain adamant and are unwilling to listen to any offer of less than €110 million for his prized asset.

Soccernet gathered through the medium that Sassuolo forward Gianluca Scamacca has been identified to replace Osimhen at Napoli should the Nigerian leave the club at the end of the season.

The Italian will not be cheap as well following his remarkable season having netted 16 goals in the Serie A.

Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti will do everything to keep Osimhen in Naples for another year hoping the forward can help them challenge for the title next season.

Reports have it that the Gunners may, however, not return for the Nigerian striker, as they are set to miss out on Champions League football next season.

The exciting sensation continues to attract interest from several wealthy clubs, including Manchester United and Newcastle United.

Ten Hag wants Osimhen at Manchester United

Meanwhile, English Premier League club Manchester United are monitoring Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as incoming manager Erik Ten Hag is set to embark on his first transfer for the Red Devils.

He could land the Nigerian as his first signing as United continue their search for a lethal striker amid concerns over the uncertain future of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Dutch tactician has notified the Manchester United board that he wants a new striker at all costs when the summer transfer window opens.

Osimhen honours Diego Maradona

Sports Brief earlier reported that Victor Osimhen has paid tribute to the legacies of Diego Armando Maradona on social media after the Nigerian forward wore the Argentine’s jersey.

Maradona is arguably considered one of the best players to have played football in the 80s and early 90s and won the World Cup with Argentina in 1986.

Osimhen who is now a fan favourite at Napoli after emerging as the club’s top scorer in the Serie A this season honoured the late legend with a post on his Instagram page.
