Feyenoord striker is according to the renowned La Gazzetta dello Sport emphatically in the interest of Napoli. The reigning champion of Italy would see the Mexican attack leader of the Rotterdam team as the ideal successor to , who would be allowed to leave Southern Italy for an amount between 120 and 130 million euros.
The 25-year-old Osimhen is in his fourth season at Napoli and last season played a major role in winning the third national title in club history. The Nigerian, who was acquired from the French Lille OSC for more than 75 million euros in the summer of 2020, has scored no fewer than 26 times in 32 competition matches. This season, in which Napoli is nowhere near title extension with a provisional seventh place, the counter has eleven goals in 17 matches, partly caused by injuries and participation in the African Cup.

The pink sports newspaper has no doubt that Osimhen is in his last months in Neapolitan service: “He is destined to say goodbye for an amount of 120 to 130 million euros,” it reads. The other two strikers in the selection, Giovanni Simeone and Giacomo Raspadori, may also leave, meaning Napoli is in urgent need of fresh blood in the vanguard. In the person of Giménez, who according to Gazette is in pole position, the club would have found that. “He is young, still has enormous room to improve and a special sense of goal: the perfect profile for Aurelio De Laurentiis,” the newspaper refers to the eccentric chairman of Napoli.
Napoli’s striker position has been held by a number of big names over the past fifteen years, including Edinson Cavani, Gonzalo Higuaín and now Osimhen. The newspaper therefore calls the choice of a new attack leader ‘perhaps even more important than that of the trainer’, and writes: “For this reason, Napoli focuses on the best profiles that are around.” The price tag that Feyenoord around the neck of the striker, who is still attached until mid-2027, would be 50 million euros, “but he does not deter him,” it reads. “Napoli could be a luxurious stage for a player capable of scoring 47 times in 80 games in less than two seasons at Feyenoord, who is already used to European football and ideally ready to become an important player for the club.”
