Manchester United are one of several clubs that have been credited with an interest in Victor Osimhen ahead of the summer transfer window.
What did Victor Osimhen say?
The Nigerian linked with the Red Devils has revealed his stance on his future while calling Napoli head coach Luciano Spalletti a very high level coach. Napoli originally signed the Nigerian from Lille in July 2020, forking out a club-record fee of €70m to secure the services of one of Europe’s top-rated young strikers. Victor Osimhen scored 27 goals in his first 60 appearances for the Italian outfit, reportedly drawing attention from Man Utd in the process.
Victor has also been linked with the Gunners and Newcastle but he remains under contract at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium until 2025. Luciano’s continued presence in Napoli will likely see the Nigerian stay put, as he believes he has taken his game to new heights thanks to the Italian tactician’s people-management skills.
Victor Osimhen said he should thank Luciano like that. According to Victor Osimhen, Luciano Spalletti has helped him a lot in his growth as a football player in many ways and he has to thank him and his staff for helping him score all those goals. They helped him improve his movement.
Spalletti always talks to Osimhen after practice and trains him both with and without the ball. Victor knows he is dealing with a very high level coach. It is a great honor and a real pleasure to be trained by him and Osimhen looks forward to working with him for many more years.
Where is Victor going to stay?
Victor further indicated that he is set to stay at Napoli after the summer when he discusses their 2021-22 campaign, which saw the club secure their top four finishes but ultimately lack Serie A glory.
Victor Osimhen has vowed that Napoli will return to the Scudetto with even greater determination next season, adding that he is honored to achieve this Champions League qualification goal with his teammates. According to Victor, they are very excited about the opportunity to face off in Europe’s biggest club competition.
They are more disappointed than the fans for not winning the title. They are because they had the quality to win it. It was their dream to win it. Of course, their hope remains to win the title and for this they give everything next season to try again.
