Osimhen’s agent William D’Avila earlier on Friday gave another Italian station, Radio Kiss Kiss, a hint that the end of the prolonged negotiations with Napoli was almost reached.

“It is a kind of transaction that requires that we maintain silence until it is finalized, so I cannot add anything else. And “one thing in certain, but I can’t add anything else – Gattuso likes strong players. And for Osimhen Napoli is the right place, it is not Liverpool ,” Sky Sports Italia quoted D’Avila’s response to Radio Kiss Kiss on Friday.
