Former Napoli striker Cristian Bucchi has advised Victor Osimhen to stay at the club amid the uncertainties surrounding his future.
The 25-year-old is expected to leave the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium despite signing a new deal with the club last December.
Premier League giants Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United have been linked with a move for the Nigerian international.
Other reports have also linked him with a return to the French Ligue 1 as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain.
Amid the interests of Osimhen's suitors, no concrete deal has arrived at Napoli's table.
The Naples-based club has inserted a €130 million release clause in the player's contract, making it difficult for his suitors to consider making an offer for the reigning African Footballer of the Year.
Osimhen has also courted interest from the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Ahli willing to break the bank to get his signature.
Speaking on the rumors surrounding the Super Eagles striker's future, former Italian striker Bucchi believes the only solution for Osimhen is to consider a move to Saudi Arabia or decide to stay at Napoli and work with Antonio Conte next season.
“We’ll see. Osimhen? I’m not convinced that, at those prices, he can move to any club in Europe. I don’t think Paris Saint-Germain and the Premier League sides will make a certain offer. Arabia would be the only solution, but the player will have to understand. I hope that either he stays at Napoli, where he could grow with Conte, or that some European club can make an important offer. I would tell him to stay at Napoli. Conte and the club want to keep them. So I know the situation will be resolved. The guarantee is Conte. He knows that these players will be functional for his idea of his game. He has already demonstrated it many times, even in the national team,” the 47-year-old said on Radio Punto Zero in quotes revealed by Calcio Napoli.
