Napoli president De Laurentiis: Osimhen deal agreed - but he could be sold

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis can't guarantee Victor Osimhen staying this summer.

While reluctant to lose the Nigeria striker, De Laurentiis admits he cannot afford to turn down any offer.

“I have said for a while that Osimhen has to stay. Then, if an offer came in that I could not refuse for the good of Napoli, then we would consider it, as is only natural," said De Laurentiis.

“We already talked to Osimhen before the Scudetto celebration, so we already have a basic agreement on a two-year extension of his contract. The other players, that is something we need to study with Rudi (Garcia), because I have for many years been convinced that pre-season training is fundamental.

“We refused to play the Gampert trophy with Barcelona, refused to play Manchester United, because we want to remain together and bring international teams to Castel di Sangro, so we avoid too much travelling."
