CalcioNapoli24: Milan request information from Napoli about Osimhen

By: Oliver Fisher

AC Milan have enquired about the possibility of signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli, according to one journalist.

In a behind closed doors press conference given to journalists late last month, Igli Tare confirmed what the plan is for the No.9 role, more specifically the aim to sign another striker to partner Santiago Gimenez.

Given the departures of Luka Jovic and Tammy Abraham – plus the imminent one of Francesco Camarda – there is a numerical need to add another centre-forward. However, it is also believed to be a specific request from Massimiliano Allegri, who wants a guaranteed 20+ goal man.

Osimhen an option?

There have been links with lots of strikers ever since, naturally. They range from domestic options such as Moise Kean, Dusan Vlahovic, Mateo Retegui and Lorenzo Lucca, to names from abroad like Aleksandr Mitrovic and Victor Boniface.

Now, Luca Cerchione of CalcioNapoli24 has tweeted something rather interesting: “Milan have requested information from Napoli about Victor Osimhen.”

In truth, it seems unfathomable at the moment that Milan would be able to get together the kind of financial package needed to sign the Nigerian. However, a bit like with the Vlahovic story, the longer that things drag on in the window the more urgency there may be for Napoli to offload.
