Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen is likely to remain at Napoli for next season, Italian tabloid La Gazzetta Dello Sport has suggested.
The striker’s future has dominated the media for the past two months, with Manchester United and Arsenal reportedly leading the chase for his signature.
It is understood that the Partenopei would do a business if they received an offer in the region of €100m for their prize asset, however, the club could have a change of heart, following their Champions League qualification.
With qualification for the next Champions League sealed, Napoli, is expected to pocket at least £40million which could rise to almost £55million if Spalletti ‘s team confirms the current third place in the league.
Osimhen is also keen to play Champions League football next season, and it is unlikely that Manchester United and Arsenal will be in the elite league next season.
This could allow Napoli’s President Aurelio De Laurentiis to withstand the potential pressure from the Premier League Clubs for Victor Osimhen.
De Laurentiis is also expected, to strengthen the squad in the summer and again, challenge for scudetto next season.
