‘I hope Osimhen stays’ – Napoli coach

Napoli’s recently appointed manager, Rudi Garcia, has expressed his desire to keep Victor Osimhen at the club amid transfer speculations surrounding the striker. In interviews during their pre-season preparations, Garcia praised Osimhen’s skills and performance, emphasizing his importance to the team.

While acknowledging ongoing talks with other players, Garcia highlighted the team’s determination to retain key players like Osimhen, who is under contract until 2025. Responding to reports of Manchester United’s renewed interest, the manager remained hopeful that Osimhen would stay with Napoli, but acknowledged the unpredictable nature of football transfers.

As talks between Osimhen and Napoli hit a snag, other clubs, including Chelsea, have been linked to the talented striker. While speculations swirl around his future, Napoli aims to keep Osimhen and capitalize on his high market value.
