Victor Osimhen speaks on his link per Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has opened up about his future with Napoli despite being heavily linked to Manchester United. Osimhen was granted an interview recently where he disclosed his desire to win a major trophy with Napoli before any further consideration and didn’t rule out a move in the future.
“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.
“We’re excited to start 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 must not think about those looking forward to our defeat. We want to beat Inter [in their next game], but it won’t be easy.”
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 sits 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.
The forward will return to competitive action against Inter on January 4, with it appearing certain he’ll be staying put in Naples, until the end of the 2022-23 season at least.
