Saturday, March 02, 2024 – Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis admitted that selling Victor Osimhen will be very emotional for him and the club.
The striker has a release clause of around €120-€130m in the
new contract he signed last summer but is expected to leave the reigning Serie
A champions in the summer as Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester City and
Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly lining up a move for the striker.
“Osimhen has a release clause. That’s a lot of money. Money
is Napoli’s latest problem,” De Laurentiis said at the FT’s Football Business
Summit:
“We have always made good purchases and will continue to do
so in the future.
“The problem is only sentimental, only emotional, because
every time a player leaves it’s like saying goodbye to a child, but at the same
time you’re happy even when he achieves success elsewhere.”
The 25-year-old has scored 11 goals in 15 league appearances
for the Partenopei this season.
