Serie A: Man Utd target, Osimhen gives condition to leave Napoli

Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, has said he wants to win silverware with the Serie A club before he leaves.

The Manchester United target has also been linked to other top clubs around Europe.

A move to the Premier League seemed to be a possibility for the 23-year-old in the summer of 2022.

There were no concrete talks, however, and Osimhen ended up staying put at Napoli, with the forward having now claimed he wants to win a major trophy with the Serie A side before potentially moving on.

“It’s one of the best clubs in Europe and I want to win here. The future is this moment, try to win something relevant in Italy. It’s hard to think about something better than Napoli, one of the best clubs in Italy. Right now I am only focused on this season because we haven’t done anything yet. We must win something and then we’ll see what happens,” he told Il Mattino.

Osimhen has scored nine Serie A goals from 11 matches and has been a key figure in Napoli’s quest to win the Scudetto. Indeed, Luciano Spalletti’s side sit top of the table with 41 points from 15 matches, eight points clear of second-placed AC Milan, but Osimhen isn’t getting carried away just yet. He said: “We’re looking forward to starting again. Nobody thinks that these eight points give any guarantee for the future. The season is long and we are aware that we must not slow down to keep the lead. We must continue like this, work hard, pretending we are not at the top of the table. We want to beat Inter [in their next game], but it won’t be easy.”
