Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has sent a word of warning to all the teams interested in signing star striker Victor Osimhen this summer, taking a firm stance on the future of his most valuable asset. Osimhen and his teammates were crowned Serie A champions for the first time in 33 years earlier this week and it was once again his goal that helped them do it.
With his 22nd strike of the season he is three clear at the top of the scoring charts in Italy and has shone in Europe, too. Five goals in six games in the Champions League helped Luciano Spalletti's team to an unexpected quarter-final, though they lost to AC Milan despite Osimhen's second leg strike.
In what has been one of the big feel-good stories across European football, Osimhen and his rise to prominence hasn't gone unnoticed by the best sides in the land with Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Chelsea all monitoring him. The former two sides are the most serious candidates given their Champions League - or nearly confirmed - status.
