When reflecting on the prospect of leaving Napoli, Victor Osimhen reveals his deep emotional connection to the club, admitting that tears may come.
The Nigerian footballer is anticipated to depart the Serie A champions in the upcoming transfer window, with his next destination still uncertain.
Osimhen’s contract, inked last December, includes a release clause valued at around €120m.
During the previous season, the 25-year-old striker played a pivotal role in Napoli’s triumph, scoring 26 goals in 32 league matches as the team secured their first title in over thirty years.
The striker has garnered a passionate following among Napoli supporters, describing them as some of the most dedicated fans globally.
Expressing his reluctance to bid farewell to the club, Osimhen shared, “The bond between the fans and the team in Naples is truly special. It’s not just the history, but the supporters who define the essence of the club.”
In an interview with Betsson Sport, he went on to praise the fans, stating, “I now understand why departing players have been moved to tears in the past. The experience of hearing your name chanted throughout the game, witnessing the unwavering support from the stands, is truly remarkable.”
