De Laurentiis: “Ocimen is not for sale”
Wanting to stop Victor Oshimen’s potential suitors, Aurelio De Laurentiis stressed that Napoli owe nothing and will not proceed with the Nigerian striker’s concession.
Napoli are racing towards a third Scudetto in their history and their first since 1990, and one of the key players in Luciano Spalletti’s side this season is Victor Ocimen, who is the league’s top scorer with 16 goals.
His impressive performances at the Partenopei have made several teams hungry for his acquisition and there are even reports that Manchester United and Paris are preparing to offer nine-figure sums to make him theirs, but Aurelio De Laurentiis disagrees.
In connection with the interview he gave to “Bild”, he even made sure to make it clear how the administrative head of the Italian south team argued: “Our players are in demand, but I don’t have to sell anyone.
We have no debt.” In addition to his positioning for Osimen, De Laurentiis also referred to Napoli’s upcoming games against Eintracht against the background of the Champions League quarter-finals to send a signal to his players:
“In the beginning you had the impression that the draw wasn’t difficult, but the reality is different. It is no coincidence that he is fighting for the title in Germany.
We mustn’t think we’re better, Barcelona did it last year (they were eliminated from the Europa League by the Germans) and we mustn’t repeat the same mistake.”
