Lille president Gerard Lopez has revealed that they are still receiving offers for Nigerian sensation Victor Osimhen even as a move to Napoli is getting closer.
The 21-year-old has been one of the most talked-about players in the transfer market, with the Partenopei looking to acquire his services in a deal in the region of €60m to 80m, as they look to improve under coach Gennaro Gattuso.
The former Wolfsburg and Charleroi man scored 18 goals in 38 competitive outings for Lille last season. “The player has made his choice, Napoli. It’s advanced, details are missing. It will be announced when the time comes. As it’s not yet official, we continue to have other offers. I want to keep good relations with these clubs too.
Lopez went on to admit that Osimhen’s departure will force a shakeup in the team’s attack, with the club not known to buy established players, but prospects like the Super Eagles forward.He also insists they have no excuse not to knock oil-rich Paris Saint-Germain off their perch and challenge for the Ligue 1 title, having narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification by just a single point and position.
