I just pray this whole transfer tussle doesn’t turn out bad in the end. It’s becoming stale. Oshimen should please act fast and if he seems so confused, he should spend another season with Lille
It becoming clearer everyday that osimhen do not want to play for napoli, but his club lille model is founded on selling its best players to run the club. Hence, the reason why club is insisting on selling him to the team that meet it asking price. It looking likely no any other club is coming up with sustainable bid that will suit what the club is asking for. I just hope at the end everything pounce out well for the young man.
Imo, the salary that Victor is talking about is a valid point. Who would want to sell his services for less in a highly critical and competitive sport like football. Most average players in the Premier League top Clubs earn above $5 million dollars in England. The former Manager did not represent Victor’s best interest and he therefore deserved his removal. I can’t see any way forward with Napoli Club in their negotiations. This is my opinion.
