Napoli have famously raised their price expectations for a player the biggest clubs in Europe want. To a level no one wants to pay, while the player himself pushes for exit. Victor Osimhen is the latest example of the Serie A club’s tactics that have once again failed. Now Napoli realize the mistake and jack down the price of one of the market’s most sought-after strikers.
In the last six months before the summer transfer window, Viktor Osimhen was part of the most chaotic transfer process we have seen in a long time. In the end, the player, who through his agent told the world he wanted to get far away from Napoli, stayed, extended his contract and was sent on loan to Galatasaray outside the five biggest leagues.

Here Osimhen has played great, Tottenham also got a taste of two Osimhen goals in the Europa League.
The buyout clause is for 130 million euros, an amount no club has been willing to pay so far. Now the door is opening. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli have lowered the buyout clause to 75 million euros. Still a gigantic sum, but this time the amount can be defended for one of the market’s best strikers.
Until this summer, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain were also looking for Osimhen’s signature, now several of the big clubs will return for the player who hammered in goals in Serie A for Napoli.
