Exactly, this is one of the reasons that makes sense.
In addition, if we look at their performance statistics in 2023/2024, Viktor Gyökeres has better data on his contribution and performance.
Check the statistical image taken from this site:
Source: Viktor Gyökeres vs. Victor Osimhenwith this data, the MP of both is quite far, as well as the number of goals and assists. Viktor Gyökeres is superior, yes because last season, Osimhen at Napoli was not as good as the previous season.
In addition, the fee for Osimhen is also very high, compared to Viktor Gyökeres which is only around € 65.00m for its market value.
You can see from the image you presented, Viktor Gyökeres have good goal contributions than Osimhen. Even though Osimhen played less games, but if you take the ratio of the games and the goal scored and assists made, it is an attractive point for any team to be convinced with him.
To me, Osimhen is been hyped above expectations, he is good, but sometimes he is not completely active when he is in front of goals, he make pockets of errors and don’t have the perfect finishing strikers like Haaland, Drogba and others have; but there is no doubt, he is strong and have good night to be a good striker.
