“No way” – Napoli president confirms Victor Osimhen stance amid interest from Man Utd and Chelsea

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has said there is no way they will sell Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window. 

Thursday’s 1-1 draw with Udinese was enough for the Blues to win their first Serie A title in 33 years. 

Luciano Spalletti’s side, who were denied the title celebrations by Salernitana last weekend, looked in trouble once again after Sandi Lovric’s early goal. 

However, Osimhen’s second-half equaliser secured the vital point that confirmed them as the new crowned Italian champions.  

The Nigerian has played a key role in Napoli’s success this term, with the 24-year-old bagging an incredible 22 goals in 27 league appearances. 

He also netted five goals in six Champions League appearances as the Blues made it to the quarterfinals of the prestigious competition. 

Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of interest in the young striker, particularly from Manchester United and Chelsea. 

However, the two English giants look to have suffered a blow in their pursuit of Osimhen as Napoli president De Laurentiis insisted they have no intention of letting their star player leave this summer. 

He told Rai Sport show ‘Cinque Minuti’: “I will not sell Victor Osimhen this summer – no way!”

The 24-year-old is a world-class striker who is capable of improving any team in Europe. 

He has expressed his desire to play in the Premier League one day, which gives hope for United and Chelsea. 

But the Nigerian is currently under contract in Naples until June 2025, which puts the Italian club in a very strong position. 

They don’t have any pressure to sell their star player this summer, and so he could end up staying at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona for another year.
