Napoli are currently enjoying an excellent season thanks also to the performances of Victor Osimhen, who has become a key element of Spalletti's team. The Nigerian striker he is scoring decisive goals for the Azzurri team and, obviously, has attracted the attention of the big European teams. With a frightening goal average, Osimhen's future at Napoli seems uncertain, especially if they were to arrive offers from over 100 million euro.

In this regard, the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, recently declared in an interview with BILD that Osimhen is not for sale and that the team has no debts and, therefore, does not need to sell the player. The president said:

I can tell you that Osimhen is not for sale. Our players are in demand, but I don't have to sell anyone. We have no debts.

The contract expires in 2025

Sky Sport journalist Francesco Modugno also had his say, stating that the sale of Osimhen could lower the amount of wages for Napoli, but that De Laurentiis will not sell the player to less than 150 million of Euro. Moduno said:

Osimhen? His sale would allow Napoli to further lower their wage bill. A player like him is a luxury for Italian football, considering that there are two years left until his contract expires, you have to sell him or renew him at very high prices for our movement. ADL will not sell him for less than 150 million euros

With Osimhen's contract expiring in 2025 and with a renewal not yet discussed, the Nigerian striker's future at Napoli is uncertain. However, De Laurentiis has no intention of saying goodbye to Osimhen for now, whose performances on the pitch continue to be fundamental for this Napoli.
