Italian club could demand £130 million to sell an Arsenal target
If Arsenal continues to pursue their interest in the Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, the Gunners could end up having to pay a record-breaking transfer fee.
The Nigerian has been in fantastic form this season, and if everything goes according to plan, the Serie A leaders could win the Scudetto this year thanks to the Nigerian’s contributions.
Mikel Arteta has the backing of the club’s board of directors, and Arsenal has spent a significant portion of the majority of the past few seasons investing in their playing squad.
The Gunners have a chance to end this season as the improbable English champions, and they will want to keep that high standard going forward into the next season.
According to a report in The Daily Mail, several other clubs are also interested in signing Osimhen, a player who formerly played for Lille and whose contract will run out in 2025.
Napoli will want to hold on to their best player, but every superstar comes with a hefty price tag, and the Italian club is likely going to ask for a transfer fee of approximately £130 million in the summer for their leading scorer.
Osimhen has been in great form recently and is playing better than Dusan Vlahovic at the moment; consequently, we will need to be willing to spend a significant amount of money to secure his signature if we truly want him.
However, because there will be so few opportunities for the Englishman to play, Eddie Nketiah may have to leave the club if he wants to continue his playing career after his arrival.
After letting go of Cristiano Ronaldo during the World Cup, Manchester United made the decision to sign Wout Weghorst, an international player for the Netherlands.
Cole was “a bit surprised” by the transfer to Manchester United, and he believes that Ronaldo’s former club, Chelsea, will have to look elsewhere for a “long-term” replacement for the Portuguese forward.
The legend of Old Trafford thinks that Osimhen would be a good fit for Erik ten Hag’s team because the Nigerian star has scored 41 goals in 80 matches for Napoli, including 13 goals in 18 games so far this season.
