Napoli Dismisses January Transfer Rumors for Victor Osimhen

Napoli director Giovanni Manna has quashed speculation about a January transfer for Victor Osimhen, stating no club has approached them regarding the striker’s €75m release clause. Despite rumors linking Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United with the Nigerian star, Manna insists that Osimhen remains a Napoli player currently thriving on loan at Galatasaray.

Osimhen Shines at Galatasaray

Since joining the Turkish giants, the 25-year-old has been in stellar form, scoring 10 goals and providing 5 assists in just 13 appearances. His contributions have propelled Galatasaray to a six-point lead in the Super Lig title race.

PSG’s Reported Interest

Reports suggest PSG views Osimhen as a potential solution to their attacking challenges under Luis Enrique. If PSG pursues Osimhen, it could prompt Randal Kolo Muani’s exit, with RB Leipzig reportedly interested in the struggling French forward.

Napoli’s Stance on Transfers

Manna remains firm about Napoli’s priorities:

“We are concentrated on our campaign… if there is an opportunity to improve the squad, we will take it, but that is not our priority right now.”

Napoli, who turned down a €100m bid for Osimhen after their Serie A triumph, continues to resist external interest as they focus on their current season.

Osimhen’s Impact Continues

The Super Eagles striker’s latest goal came in Galatasaray’s 3-2 victory over Sivasspor, where he converted a crucial penalty. Osimhen’s form underscores his value, keeping him at the center of transfer speculation despite Napoli’s firm denials.
