“Whether Osimhen could play in the summer? My feeling is that he is concentrating on making history for Napoli. Then it could depend on the Scudetto factor: if Napoli win it at the end of the year, we’ll see what happens.
“In Naples, he has found his dimension, there is an important African community in Naples and for this reason, he feels at home. If offers beyond any logic arrive at the end of the year they will evaluate.”
