This is not the first time the 24-year-old has been linked with the Premier League. In the mid-2022 window, Osimhen was speculated at Manchester United in a possible exchange with Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite rumors, the striker remained in Naples.
At the club since 2020, Osimhen praised the club’s fans at the awards. Napoli fans have been filling the Diego Armando Maradona stadium in recent games to support the team’s good campaign.
“When you arrive in Naples, you fall in love with football even more because people’s lives are based on this game and supporting the team. Being able to give them something they will remember is a big mission for me,” he said. .
