Osimhen’s impressive performance in a Napoli jersey, which notably contributed to their Serie A title win last season, has made him a highly sought-after player. He scored over 30 goals in all competitions during that campaign, establishing himself as a prolific goal-scorer and a valuable asset.
The prediction of such a hefty price tag, as suggested by Agbonlahor, emphasizes the increasing financial barriers in the world of football, making it even more challenging for top clubs to secure the services of top-tier talent. As the transfer window approaches, it will be interesting to see how Osimhen’s future unfolds and whether any club is willing to meet the astronomical price demanded for his transfer.
