Several teams that were previously very interested in bringing in Osimhen finally withdrew one by one from the competition, after previously PSG was rumored to be very interested in bringing in Osimhen as a replacement for Mbappe, but in fact at this time we no longer hear of any moves that PSG is making to be able to bring in Osimhen next season, I think PSG interest in Osimhen is also starting to disappear after previously Napoli said it would not sell Osimhen and Osimhen He also stated that the contract extension he made at the end of December was proof of his loyalty to Napoli.
Osimhen statement shows how loyal he is to the team and want to continue his stay there, but also he should have made a by now made a change to that statement because it’s clear that the new coach is not that interested in him and will want to use him as part of his plans for next season. You can’t remain loyal to a team forever especially when the head of the team doesn’t value your presence there. He should look for ways to find a new club and Napoli shouldn’t make that pathway hard for him to get.
Currently, Chelsea and Arsenal are also backing away from their desire to get Osimhen from Napoli, although now Napoli clearly hinted that Osimhen will be sold because it is likely that Osimhen is not included in Conte plans next season, Conte desire to bring in Lukaku is of course a signal if Conte prioritizes Lukaku as their main striker next season rather than Osimhen, Even Napoli has offered Osimhen to Chelsea as a way for them to get Lukaku by also including a lot of money for the transfer, but Chelsea actually refused because they saw Osimhen price being too expensive, after Chelsea, now Arsenal is also withdrawing from the competition to get Osimhen because Napoli asked Arsenal to pay Osimhen for 90 million euros plus Tomiyasu and also Smith Rowe.
This is too much and even I will back down from such deal because it’s not a transparent one looking at the players to be involved and swapped with him including 90 million euros. Osimhen is a good player and the season before this one that ended was a very great one for him that made him surge in value. But checking at the recently concluded season, it is obvious that he didn’t do well and his worth would have depreciated by now. Osimhen to join Arsenal will be a very good boost to the team because of the nature of striker he his, but Napoli have now made them lose interest in the player even when they’re not looking to utilise him for the next season.
The sale of Osimhen will create a serious economic resource for Napoli. With this resource, they can recruit new players. We know that Napoli sends many players to the European market. Osimhen is also one of the very talented actors. He is currently the most valuable African football player. If he joins Arsenal, I think he will make great contributions to them. Arsenal is a good team, but they have a few shortcomings, one of which is the lack of a strong striker like Osimhen.
