Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has made it clear that the club wants to resolve Victor Osimhen’s future as soon as possible. After failing to secure a move to Chelsea last year, Osimhen was loaned to Turkish giants Galatasaray but is widely expected to make a permanent switch this summer.
The 26-year-old Nigerian forward remains a highly sought-after player, with several top European clubs keeping a close watch. With a release clause in place, Napoli are working behind the scenes to prevent a repeat of last summer’s prolonged negotiations.
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, Manna emphasized the urgency of finalizing Osimhen’s next move. “Victor is always a hotly debated topic, not just in the transfer market. He is an appealing player for clubs, and everyone knows about his release clause,” he said. “We are working to find a solution as quickly as possible to avoid the situation we faced last year.”
With Osimhen’s price tag set at around €75 million, a move to the Premier League appears to be the most likely outcome. Chelsea, who were previously linked with the striker, could reignite their interest, while other English clubs are also monitoring the situation.
Napoli’s urgency signals that they are prepared to move forward without Osimhen, and his next destination could be one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer window.
