The list of contenders for Victor Osimhen’s signing is long. All of Europe is known to be after the 24-year-old Nigerian. In addition to a rain of up to 150 million euros, the attacker would leave a free starting eleven with the Neapolitans. For the Gil Azzurri it is important to replace the 26-goal man as best as possible in order to continue the sporting success of the current season in the next season. According to the ‘Correire dello Sport’, there are four names on the note from the Naples officials.
Tammy Abraham
The Englishman from AS Roma is considered the hottest iron in the fire. The 25-year-old has already made 43 appearances in all competitions under coach José Mourinho this season and is one of the top performers at Roma. The Englishman is currently on seven Serie A goals and also contributed four assists.
Rasmus Höjlund
The Dane from Atalanta Bergamo has also aroused the interest of the southern Italians. Just like Abraham, the 20-year-old centre-forward with seven goals this season brings a nose for goals and Serie A experience. Signed from Sturm Graz for around €17m at the start of the season, Höjlund has been compared to Erling Haaland for his robust but effective style of play. Höjlund also made his national team debut in September 2022 and has scored five goals in four games since then.
Victor Boniface
Number three on Napoli’s list is Union Saint-Gilloise’s assault tank, who is Osimhen’s compatriot. At 22, Boniface is highly talented and accurate. Gilloise signed the Nigerian from FK Bodø/Glimt for two million euros. The offensive player impressed immediately and has played 3529 minutes for the Belgians in the current season. After the right footer, whose contract runs until 2026, was able to beat Union Berlin in the Europa League, it was the end of the quarterfinals against Bayer Leverkusen last Thursday.
Beto
The fourth name on the list of successors comes from Udinese Calcio. The Portuguese has already scored ten times this season. With Udinese, Beto is currently in twelfth place in the table. The center forward, who was born in Lisbon, was signed by Portimonese from Portugal for seven million euros at the beginning of the current season after a one-year loan. The 25-year-old has not yet played a role in the national team due to high competition.
SSC Napoli has not yet made a concrete offer for any of the strikers mentioned. One thing is clear: If Osimhen really leaves the Italian club, Napoli will have to strengthen the offensive center in a top-class manner. The necessary small change would be available.
