Nigerian talismanic striker, Victor Osimhen has insisted that he is contented at Italian Serie A club, Napoli, despite all the uncertainty concerning his future.

Recall that Victor Osimhen finished last season as Serie A’s top scorer after recording 26 goals which helped Napoli to win the Serie A title for the first time in 33 years.

Due to his prolific performance last season, Osimhen was reportedly on the wish lists of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Chelsea.

However, the clubs couldn’t do much as Aurelio de Laurentiis, the president of Napoli, insisted on receiving more than £100 million in exchange for the Nigerian international.

While the interested parties moved on to other targets, Osimhen stayed in Naples and started the 2023–2024 season with a respectable six goals and one assist from ten games.

As the 24-year-old approaches the final two years of his contract with Napoli, amid trouble in coming to an agreement with the club regarding a contract renewal, his long-term future is still far from certain.

Additionally, Osimhen was the subject of two odd Napoli TikTok videos that appeared to mock the striker. The club reportedly issued a private apology to the player after the striker’s agent threatened to sue the team over the incident.

On the other hand, Napoli’s president had made hints that Osimhen would be sold in 2024 if he did not agree to a new deal. It was reported that this had put Chelsea and Liverpool, who are reportedly in the lead to sign Osimhen, on red alert.

However, Victor Osimhen insisted in a recent Twitch interview with Mario Balotelli and Emiliano Viviano that he is “happy at Napoli”.

He added: “People don’t know how difficult it is to play in Serie A. From a tactical and physical point of view, it’s one of the most difficult leagues to play in.”
