There is little left to discuss regarding Victor Osimhen, as Napoli fans have been advised to forget about the Super Eagles star now shining in Turkey.
- Tottenham has joined Leicester City as one of Osimhen’s favorite Premier League opponents.
- Maurizio de Giovanni, a prominent Napoli fan and author, has urged supporters to stop dwelling on Osimhen’s departure, stating that it serves no purpose given the club’s strong performances since his move to Galatasaray.
- Osimhen’s exit from Napoli was marked by controversy, following a failed transfer attempt and the club’s firm stance on his high transfer valuation.
- The forward was a beloved figure at Napoli, playing a crucial role in their historic Serie A title win last season, which ended a 33-year championship drought.
- However, his relationship with the club deteriorated after transfer negotiations collapsed, ultimately leading to his loan move to Galatasaray.
- Since joining Galatasaray, Victor Osimhen has continued to make headlines, recently scoring twice against Tottenham in a 3-2 Europa League victory, bringing his tally to six goals and four assists in just eight appearances.
- Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku, who took Osimhen’s place at Napoli, has also been performing well, recording four goals and four assists in nine Serie A matches.
- Despite Lukaku’s contributions, many Napoli fans remain fixated on the Osimhen saga, with some expressing regret over his departure.
- Maurizio de Giovanni, however, believes that the ongoing focus on Osimhen is futile. He stated, “No need to talk about Osimhen: he wanted to leave; there is nothing to complain about; it’s pure and simple self-expression.”
- De Giovanni compared Osimhen to previous Napoli stars like Cavani, Higuain, and Mertens, expressing gratitude but urging fans to move on.
- He also noted that Osimhen’s connection with Napoli was limited, citing the player’s lack of engagement with the Italian language and culture, as well as issues in the dressing room.
- Despite renewing his contract with Napoli before his loan move, Osimhen had a significant €81 million release clause that will decrease to €75 million in.
