Swirling talks, including a report from Sports Witness, have linked the Nigerian forward with a transfer to both Manchester United and Arsenal. These links come amid Enzo Maresca's refusal to discard the possibility of his Chelsea side making another move for the forward.
However, amid these endless speculations, a report has surfaced about a former Napoli director looking to bring Osimhen back to Serie A.
Ex-Napoli director wants Serie A return for Osimhen
According to a report from Tutto Napoli, former Napoli director and current Juventus sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, is eager to complete a deal for the Nigerian striker to join the Old Lady.
The report highlights the strong relationship between Osimhen and Giuntoli, which is proving to be a key factor in facilitating the transfer.
It’s worth noting that Giuntoli was responsible for bringing Osimhen to Napoli from Lille for €75 million in 2020. Now, he is reportedly prepared to replicate a similar deal, surprisingly for a similar transfer fee.
A fresh report from Goal.com suggests that Osimhen’s potential return to Serie A could surpass the much-discussed €75mil fee, though it remains uncertain how the situation will unfold regarding the Nigerian's future.
Amid all the speculation, it’s important to mention that Galatasaray has not ruled out the possibility of securing Osimhen on a long-term contract at the Istanbul club.
