Italian Serie A leaders Napoli have pegged €100 million price tag on Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.
After starting in his first match in six weeks at the weekend, Osimhen scored the only goal after taking former Manchester United defender Chris Smalling for a bumpy ride at the back post.
Osimhen has been heavily linked with a move to United in recent months, especially as a potential replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, with the 37-year-old goalscorer also linked with a switch to Naples in January.
According to Tuttosport, as cited by Tutto Napoli, the Serie A outfit will not allow the striker to leave the club unless they receive an offer worth at least €100 million.
Perhaps an arrangement could be formed between the two clubs, with Ronaldo seeking a new club with his current United deal set to expire at the end of the season – but the difference is we are talking about Napoli’s most prized asset.
Chelsea have also been linked with Osimhen and they will be in the market for a new centre forward next summer.
