Victor Osimhen, highly coveted on the transfer market, recently spoke about his career plans. Napoli’s Nigerian centre-forward revealed his future ambitions.
Last December, Napoli confirmed Victor Osimhen’s future by announcing the Nigerian striker’s contract extension. The 25-year-old has signed a new contract until June 2026, putting an end to rumors concerning his short-term future. The former Lille player will therefore remain with Walter Mazzarri’s team during the winter transfer window.
However, the situation could change next summer, when it is likely that several clubs will be looking to recruit the Lagos native after the 2023-2024 season. According to information we have relayed, Chelsea, under Mauricio Pochettino, would consider paying his XXL release clause, estimated at between 120 and 130 million euros.
“I’d love to play in the Premier League” Meanwhile, despite insistent rumours of Real Madrid’s interest in Osimhen, playing for the White House is not his priority.
Currently competing with the Super Eagles at the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations, Victor Osimhen made a statement about his situation in an interview with Sky Sports.
Napoli’s number 9 expressed his preference: “Of course, one day I’d like to play in the Premier League, that’s for sure. But for the moment, I have other plans for my career.
When the time comes, everyone will know.” Premier League clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are mentioned as possible destinations.
In the meantime, the former French league player remains focused on his performances with the Azzurri. Since the start of the 2023-2024 season, Victor Osimhen has scored 8 goals in 18 games in all competitions, including 7 goals in 13 Serie A games.
