Imagine Everton going for Osimhen!
What a signing that would be. Probs won’t happen but with the big teams seemingly looking at other options, we could offer a solution that’s the best of the rest
Only a year left on Napoli contract and is a goal scorer we haven all praying for.
Not a bad age at 26.

Why did Napoli let him go? I think he might be a bit like Eto’o in his mannerisms/ troublemaker and unsettle the dressing room.
{Ed025's Note - thats what is being said BR..

Didn't he have a massive problem with the President regarding various racist slurs against him by his own club on social media etc. Get the impression that aside yes could be a problem in dressing room. Not that we realistically have any hope of signing him, he was by all accounts offered 600k PW to go to Saudi before he ended up in Turkey.

Who knows what happened behind closed doors. But looks like he’s not as popular as his performances should merit. So something not right there.
{Ed001's Note - Napoli posted up a video on their social media poking fun at him, but in a racist way, for missing a penalty. When he complained about the racist tones, they doubled down on it. The issue with people signing him is purely his wage demands. He is asking for around £400k a week.}

Dear me Ed. That’s a low ball of a wage ?. I’m guessing £400k a week or £21m a year would normally be ok but he probably wants that after tax ??.
{Ed001's Note - I believe that is pre-tax, so somewhere in the region of 250k after tax. Ed25 won't get out of bed for that!}

Crikey! Is anyone actually paying him or willing to pay him that much Ed? (That’s Osimhen not Ed25)
{Ed001's Note - I knew what you meant, we all know there are plenty willing to pay 25! So far no one has been willing to pay him what he wants other than the Saudis, who he then rejected anyway. I can see him ending up on another loan deal with Napoli stuck picking up a percentage of his wages.}

I’ve read some pretty positive things about him over the years. Apparently he’s ultra competitive, trains like he plays and in obsessed with winning.
Granted having an attitude with these traits could become very toxic but they’re certainly traits you want to see in an elite player.
Hopefully no of the big boys going in for him with humble him somewhat and that could leave the door open to other clubs coming in, who are behind the main teams.
I certainly wouldn’t say no to his signing lol.
