- Super Eagles attacker Victor Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli next summer
Despite signing a new contract, Super Eagles attacker Victor Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli next summer.
According to Dario Canovi, an Italian football agent, the Nigerian contract renewal with the Partenopei is meant at raising his valuation ahead of the summer transfer market.
“It’s a renewal that only serves to raise the price.” Canovi told Napoli Magazine, “I believe he will leave Napoli in June.”
Osimhen has been linked with a move to Premier League heavyweights Chelsea, and if he does leave next summer, the most probable destination will be England.
Meanwhile, Italian club, Juventus, has seemingly trolled Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen on Instagram as their defender pulled a mobile phone out of his pocket, showing a video of the duel won against the Nigerian in the wake of his contract extension with the Bianconeri.
Juventus announced Bremer’s contract until 2028 and celebrated the defender’s signature with several videos published on social media.
One of the videos showed the Brazilian centre-back emptying his pocket and leaving some objects on the table.
Among those was a mobile phone with a video showing duels he won against Leao and Osimhen this season.
The Bianconeri have beaten Napoli and Milan 1-0 this season and Italian media praised Bremer for nullifying both strikers.
This is not the first time the Nigerian has been trolled on social media this season.
In September, Osimhen, was trolled a pair of TikTok videos posted on Napoli’s official account.
This came after Napoli played out a goalless draw with Bologna.
Osimhen, who had hit the woodwork and missed a penalty in the encounter, was substituted five minutes from time and replaced by another center-forward, Gio Simeone and as he approached the bench, he visibly berated his former coach Rudi Garcia loudly asking why they couldn’t play with two strikers since they were trying to win.
