Victor Osimhen reveals why leaving Napoli will be a difficult decision for him

Victor Osimhen in a recent interview has opened up on why leaving Napoli could be a difficult choice or decision for him to make.

Napoli’s star striker, Victor Osimhen, has openly acknowledged that leaving the Serie A club will likely stir strong emotions, perhaps even leading to tears, as he reflects on his time with the Partenopei.

The Nigerian international played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Scudetto triumph last season, and now there is widespread anticipation that he will depart the club this summer, although his next destination remains uncertain. Osimhen’s contract, signed last December, reportedly includes a release clause of around €120 million. His remarkable performances on the pitch have endeared him to Napoli’s passionate fanbase, making him a revered figure among the club faithful.

His impressive tally of 26 goals in 32 league appearances significantly contributed to securing Napoli’s first league title in over three decades. Osimhen expressed deep appreciation for the fervent support of Napoli’s fans, emphasizing the unique bond between the club and its supporters.

The Nigerian international stated, "For me it’s a fantastic feeling, in some clubs it’s the history that creates the identity, in Naples it’s the fans who make the team what it is. The way they support the team and each player is truly incredible. Sometimes I understand why some legends of the past cried when they left Naples, because it is an extraordinary emotion to play in the stadium and hear your name shouted from the first minute to the 90th, supporting the team and cheering.”
