With Victor Osimhen looking increasingly likely to leave Napoli in the summer, the club are eyeing up potential replacements. The Nigerian international has increasingly been linked with a move to the Premier League, with some reports suggesting he would like to make the switch to the Premier League in the summer.
La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the club are considering various options to fill the void left by Osimhen, however, before finalizing their attacking lineup, the club must prioritize appointing a new head coach. Osimhen’s imminent departure adds urgency to the decision-making process, with rumors linking him to a move to the Premier League. The club’s participation in the next Champions League campaign will also influence their recruitment strategy and financial resources.
Among the potential candidates, Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez has emerged as a promising option. The Mexican forward has displayed impressive goal-scoring prowess and represents a relatively affordable option for Napoli, with a reported transfer fee of €50 million. Alternatively, Jonathan David, currently with Lille, offers another viable option with his contract set to expire in 2025, potentially facilitating a cost-effective acquisition.
