Nigerian super striker and Napoli goal poacher, Victor Osimhen has admitted that he will probably ‘cry’ when leaving his Serie A club, Napoli.
Recall that there has been wide expectation that Osimhen will leave the Partenopei this summer. This is even when his destination is still unknown.
According to report, Osimhen has around €120m release clause inserted in the contract he signed last December.
Recall that following his sterling football career in Italy, Osimhen has become a cult hero among Napoli fans. The striker played a key role in Napoli success last season.
The 25-year-old scored 26 goals in 32 league appearances. His efforts contributed to Napoli winning their first title in over three decades.
Expressing his emotional attachment to the club, Osimhen described Napoli fans as one of the best in the world. He, therefore, claimed that leaving the club will be difficult for him.
“For me it’s a fantastic feeling. In some clubs it’s the history that creates the identity. In Naples it’s the fans who make the team what it is.
“The way they support the team and each player is truly incredible,” Osimhen said in an interview with Betsson Sport.
“Sometimes I understand why some legends of the past cried when they left Naples. It is because it is an extraordinary emotion to play in the stadium. And hear your name shouted from the first minute to the 90th, supporting the team and cheering.”
