Napoli will demand £100m from any club interested in signing forward Victor Osimhen this summer.
Premier League giants Manchester United are rumoured to be interested in bringing the Nigeria international to the Old Trafford this summer, but have been priced out of a move for the striker.
Napoli parted with £70m to sign Osimhen from Ligue 1 club Lille two years ago and are not prepared to let him leave on the cheap.

Osimhen has scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 22 appearances for Napoli across all competitions this season.
The forward, who is under contract at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium until June 2025, scored 18 goals in 38 appearances for Lille before netting 21 times in 51 games for Napoli.

Neymar earns £198million, why should Osimhen be priced £100m, that’s on the low side. A whopping difference of £98m, maybe because he is an African otherwise Osimhen is a sure player.
Abeg help me talk am. That Neymar that couldn’t score against Nantes? I think spalleti has other reasons.
He should then be the most expensive Super Eagles player. Ghana Black Stars, our number 9 is coming o.
Osihmen should leave Italy at the end of the season. England, Spain or France is the
best destination.
He should go to man u because of thier style of play ,I know that Napoli will soon get frustrated with his constant injury problems,now they are making enquires about scamacca of sassuolo .I wish him all the best and hope that he will be fit enough to play against ghana
Let him go to Madrid or Newcastle, next two seasons Newcastle will be playing Champions League.
Obviously the owner just doesn’t want to lose his valuable player. He put Kalidou at $80 million. Osimhen is way less than $100m, he is not even in double figures in scoring in the league. The highest he scored is still in Lille in which he scored 11 goals in which the season ended prematurely. If he dont pass 11 goals this season, he is overpriced. Awoniyi has the highest so far in the top 5 league with 10 goals and he cost less then 10m.
Why this comparison with Awoniyi? They are sure from same nation but don’t have same kind of influence on the pitch. Osimhen is always a plus in the field, commanding ATTENTION and organising the front line. He’s a Hungry player
