Osimhen, who is in Ivory Coast for the Africa Cup of Nations, told CBS Sports on Tuesday that he had “already decided on the next step in his career”.
The Nigerian striker was a pivotal player last season as the club won their first league title in 33 years and finished as the Serie A top scorer with 26 goals and signed a new contract with the club last month but did not signal any intention to stay at the club.
“We knew about Osimhen since this summer. We knew perfectly well that he would go to Real Madrid, Paris St Germain, or an English team,” Napoli President De Laurentiis told reporters.
