Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has revealed that he may shed tears any day he eventually leaves his Serie A side Napoli. The forward is expected to leave the club in the summer, following the introduction of a €120m release clause into his contract last season.
He has been linked with many top clubs in Europe after he played a pivotal role in guiding Napoli to their first Scudetto in 33 years and became the first African player to clinch the Serie A top scorer title. In an interview with Betsson Sport, Osimhen expressed his deep admiration for Napoli fans, describing them as ‘extraordinary.’ “Extraordinary.
For me, it’s incredible. I’ve been in football for 6-7 years now and I say it in every interview when they ask me about Napoli fans,” Osimhen remarked. “They are among the best fans in the world for how they support their team and how they live their everyday lives making sure the identity of this club is connected to them,” Osimhen added.
“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 concluded.
