Osimhen’s impressive performance last season, scoring 26 goals in 32 league appearances, played a crucial role in Napoli’s Scudetto success, their first title in over three decades. The 25-year-old has become a cult hero among Napoli fans, who admire his skill and dedication on the pitch.
The striker praised the Napoli fans, describing them as one of the best in the world. “For me, it’s a fantastic feeling…the way they support the team and each player is truly incredible,” he said. “Sometimes I understand why some legends of the past cried when they left Naples, 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.”
Osimhen’s emotional attachment to Napoli is evident, and his potential departure this summer will undoubtedly be a loss for the club and its fans. With a €120m release clause in his contract, top clubs are likely to be interested in signing the talented striker. As Osimhen prepares to bid farewell to Napoli, his heartfelt words will resonate with fans, who will cherish the memories of his time at the club.
The thought of leaving Napoli’s passionate supporters and the electric atmosphere of the San Paolo Stadium will indeed be a difficult goodbye for Osimhen.
