Napoli director Mauro Meluso has said that Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen could still sign in January if a suitable agreement is reached.
Remember that the Nigerian international was widely linked with a move to Stamford Bridge before joining Galatasaray this summer.
Meluso Meluso spoke to Corriere dello Sport about the striker’s departure to Turkey and how a deal with Chelsea could be done as the Italian club tries to trade a player who is no longer in their plans.
“It was a last-minute solution so he would not lose the first three months of the season,” Meluso said during the Palermo Football Conference. “We will see in January.”
“He no longer wanted to be part of the first team.
“He had received an important offer even before I arrived at Napoli, but (Napoli chairman) Aurelio De Laurentiis didn’t consider it because he thought about the club’s good.
“He may have made wrong decisions but did them to keep Napoli competitive.”
