Super Eagles and Lille forward, Victor Osimhen and his agents have reportedly arrived the City of Naples in Italy to hold talk with Napoli.
The Lille forward who recently won the Marc Vivien Foe African player award is expected to reach an agreement with the Serie A club.
Osimhen is seen as a perfect replacement for Napoli striker, Milik who could be allowed to leave the club.
Genarro Gattuso is looking to strengthen his squad to push for the Serie A title next season since he took over from Carlo Ancelotti.
Napoli have been scouting the striker who scored 18 goal in all competitions for Lille and 13 league goals to help them finish fourth.
The club was reported to have have invited him to visit the city after sending him videos and maintaining non-stop contacts.
Africa Top Sports reporter monitoring the meeting which is currently ongoing in Napoli gathered that the player and his team will go on with the contract if it”s worth the asking price despite racism in Italy.
According to Napoli News, Osita Okolo who is a member of Osimhen’s entourage said.
“To date, there is no prior agreement in place.
“If we talk about Serie A there are many other factors to consider, such as the problem with racism.
“Will he (Osimhen) play in Naples in 2020? If the parties agree, why not?”
The forward joined Lille in 2019 and should the deal go through, it might cause uproar among supporters of the club who are very happy with the player.
Napoli is bidding €70m for the forward alone .
