What is your opinion about Napoli? It seems like they have fallen off a lot. I believe that should have performed far better compared to what they have done. Even if we look at just the last 5 matches from them, we will see that they have not done well at all. they only have one win In the last 5 matches. that is not good at all from the team which is the defending champion of the title. I also believe that it is just a matter of time before Osimhen leaves the team. Because I don't think that he is going to be the player that he wants to be if he stays in the Napoli team. Still not certain about which club is actually going to get him. but in my opinion he is leaving for sure. unless somehow Napoli manages to actually Defend the title successfully, which seems to be almost impossible at this moment.
Napoli has lost the quality it had last season and it will be difficult for them to regain that form. Winning a game in five matches doesn't show the right will to compete for the Seria A title. One of the reasons for this poor run was the absence of Victor Osimhen due to his engagement in the African Nations Cup.
He is back and they have started having positive results. In the last three games, there has been some improvement. They played a draw with Barcelona in the UCL second round, would have won the game with Cagliari if not for the late equalizer, and got a convincing win yesterday against Sassuolo. The return of the Nigerian striker has added more quality to the team and it has also been seen that the partnership between him and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been rekindled.
It will be difficult for Napoli to defend the scudetto, they might just get a European competition qualification. Except Napoli can make it to the Champions League next season or win the UCL, I doubt if Victor will be able to remain in the club. He might also be attracted if they give him a very lucrative contract. However, the club is preparing to make money from the sale of the striker next season and the striker wants to leave to face new challenges elsewhere, maybe the EPL.
Osimhen is a good asset to Napoli as a striker. He is just a golden opportunity for Napoli, and everyone knows that. As you have mentioned, when he was absent, Napoli were just busy losing games, but what was the result of their games when he returned? They started winning massively. Just take a look at the game they played against Sassuolo. Osimhen had three good goals, which triggered their point in the table. Many have lost hope in Napoli that they are going nowhere, but when the best striker returns, things start changing, and Napoli starts getting a better chance of trusting themselves.
So to me, I don’t think Napoli will like to give Osimhen out for money unless he is that one who likes the offer and decides to leave Napoli, but if Napoli tries to maintain him, they will start getting more victories in the future. His name implies that Victor Osimhen stands for victory, so Napoli will not pray to lose that victor carrying all the victories.
