Napoli sporting director Meluso: We all here trust Zielinski and Osimhen

Napoli sporting director Mauro Meluso says there's no doubts about Piotr Zielinski's commitment.

The Poland midfielder will leave when his deal expires in June.

"Piotr's contract is running down, but he is a professional, we are focused exclusively on this evening's game, which is very important to get back into the race for the top four," Meluso told DAZN.

“Piotr is a professional, he is an important player for this team and as long as he is on our books, he must be at the disposal of the squad."

On star striker Victor Osimhen, he also said: “It is not a very fair mentality to think that if a player has earned the opportunity to change team, he somehow cannot be trusted to deliver at his current squad. I see them in training all the time, Zielinski and Osimhen certainly never lacked for a competitive approach.

“When he returns, we will evaluate him and hope he is in the physical and above all mental condition to help the team."
