Napoli’s star player, Victor Osimhen, currently enjoying his vacation in Lagos, has once again demonstrated his unwavering connection to the Italian champions. In a symbolic social media post, Osimhen shared photos of himself wearing Napoli’s iconic Buitoni shirt from their first championship victory, captivating his Italian fans.
In a nostalgic gesture, Osimhen proudly displayed the revered number 10 on his back, paying homage to the legendary Diego Maradona. The post has already generated thousands of reactions from fans, as speculation about Osimhen’s future continues to swirl.
Despite the transfer rumors, Osimhen remains focused on his affiliation with the blue club, seemingly undeterred by the ongoing speculation. In the previous season, the talented striker played a pivotal role in Napoli’s triumphant campaign, scoring an impressive 26 goals in the league and providing four assists. The club clinched their first Scudetto in 33 years, an achievement that harkened back to Maradona’s reign.
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has been urging Osimhen to stay in Naples and aim for another Scudetto, following in the footsteps of the late Argentine legend. Osimhen’s fondness for Napoli further hints at the possibility of extending his stay in Serie A.
However, it is no secret that the Nigerian forward harbors dreams of playing in the Premier League, with Chelsea and Manchester United emerging as prominent contenders vying for his services. As Osimhen’s future hangs in the balance, fans eagerly await his decision, wondering if he will embrace a new challenge in England or continue his journey in Italy, aiming to replicate the remarkable achievements of his revered predecessor.
