According to the report on GOAL, Bonetti stated that Osimhen can net 25 goals this term for Napoli in Serie A if he stays fit and healthy.

Bonetti's remarks on Osimhen

''Osimhen has not had a full season; he has gotten injured in every season he has been at Napoli. If he can stay healthy for an entire season, he is a 25-goal-per-season striker. But it is just more of the danger that he puts into the defence.”

Napoli place price tag on Osimhen

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Italian side Napoli have set a €100million price tag on Nigerian international Victor Osimhen, as rumours circulate about Chelsea's interest in the striker.

President of the Serie A outfit Aurelio de Laurentiis is reportedly prepared to let the forward leave, but only for the set price.

It is believed the 23-year-old will not leave the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium for anything less than the staggering figure.

Osimhen has been on the transfer radar for several months, with a number of English Premier League clubs jostling for his signature.

During the summer, teams like Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United were all linked with the former Lille man, who bagged 18 goals for Napoli last season.
