Lille manager, confirms Osimhen transfer move
Lille Manager, Christophe Galtier has lent credence to report that Super Eagle forward, Victor Osimhen will be leaving the French club at the end of the current season to join a bigger club.
The Nigeria International has been on the radar of Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenhan Hotspur.
Napoli has joined the bandwagon of topflight European club coveting the signature of the former Wolfsburg whizkid whose market price is valued at eighty million euros by Lille chiefs, but his transfer fee might be serious affected as a result of the novel Coronavirus pandemic.
In an interview with Canal + (via lepetitlillois.com) , Galtier explained: “People stay focused on “they buy for X, they sell for Y. The player arrives, he stays 18 months or 12 months and then he leaves” but there is not a French club that may not sell except Paris.
“Everyone else is forced to sell and everyone else is like us. But they don’t assume it. I am in this project there, with young players who come from all walks of life and I find that it is very fulfilling.”
He added: “If I expect Gabriel, Osimhen or even Ikoné to leave? Yes, I integrated it. I don’t want them to leave, but they will leave.
“I cannot veto a player’s departure, this is the project. Behind, Luis presents me with profiles that correspond to what I expect.”
Osimhen has caught the attention of various clubs in the La liga with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Sevilla vying for his service.
