‘Napoli Waiting to Use Osimhen Transfer Cash to Pay for Ademola Lookman’

Napoli is targeting to use the money they will get from the transfer of Victor Osimhen this summer transfer window to pay for the signing of Ademola Lookman.

According to a Transfer Expert, Luca Marchetti, Galatasaray are set to pay a guaranteed €75million to Napoli being the release clause of Osimhen.

Napoli have been interested in signing Lookman from fellow Italian club Atalanta, but they have considered him expensive for between €50 and 60million.

However the Transfer Expert Luca Marchetti told SkySports24 yesterday that Napoli could now splash most of the cash from the Osimhen sale on Ademola Lookman, while having something extra to buy a cheap striker.

Yesterday, leading Italian sports newspaper, Gazzetta dello Sport, wrote in its editorial that Osimhen made history with Napoli, but also his bitter departure from the club will be remembered.

“Three years ago, Osimhen finished as the top scorer of the Italian Serie A as Napoli won the Scudetto again after a very long wait.

“However, the relationship between club and player suffered the following season, which eventually led to Osimhen going on loan to Galatasaray.”

Gazzetta dello Sportcommented further : “Not even His majesty Maradona managed to win the Scudetto as top scorer. Osimhen did.

“But in the future when we talk about Victor Osimhen’s years in Campania (Napoli), we won’t only limit ourselves to his prowess on the pitch, because it is inevitable to remember a complicated relationship with the club, which ended in a bitter farewell.”

Osimhen is set to soon complete a transfer to Galatasaray within the next 48hours.
