In an interview with Henzodaily.ng, the retired attacker shared his views on Osimhen’s future, suggesting that moving away from Napoli might not be the best decision at this time.
“I don’t think he needs to leave Napoli right now. He’s thriving there; he should continue focusing on his game. If a big transfer opportunity arises, it will come in due course.
From my perspective, it seems like he might be trying to force a move, which could be detrimental. He is well-loved at Napoli, and if he keeps performing well, the big clubs will come calling.

He was initially linked with several clubs across Europe, but with the transfer window nearing its end, there hasn’t been significant progress.”
The retired footballer also implied that Osimhen’s attitude might be affecting the transfer saga:
“He should also reflect on his attitude. His recent outburst with Finidi George might have impacted his situation. He might not see it now, but over time, he’ll realise that approach wasn’t the best.”
According to transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Osimhen seems more interested in joining Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain over other potential destinations.
Why PSG cooled interest in Osimhen
Henzodaily.ng in a previous report stated Osimhen’s move to PSG stalled because Luis Enrique was not convinced despite having an agreement on personal terms for a contract worth €14 million per season over five years.
The former Barcelona head coach questioned whether the Nigerian is suited to his style of play and would instead continue with Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani.
