'I understand why some legends cried when they left' — Osimhen speaks on leaving Napoli

Victor Osimhen has admitted that leaving Napoli will be difficult amid reports linking him with a move away from the dethroned Serie A champions.

The 25-year-old has been at the centre of transfer speculations following his remarkable campaign with Napoli last season.

The Super Eagles striker netted 26 goals in 33 Serie A appearances to help Napoli win their first Scudetto title in 33 years, also winning the Capocannoniere award in the process.

Osimhen, who has reportedly been linked to Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain in the summer claimed leaving Naples will be difficult.

“For me it’s a fantastic feeling, in some clubs it’s the history that creates the identity, in Naples it’s the fans who make the team what it is.

“The way they support the team, and each player is truly incredible,” Osimhen told Betsson Sport in an interview.

“Sometimes I understand why some legends of the past cried when they left Naples, because it is an extraordinary emotion to play in the stadium and hear your name shouted from the first minute to the 90th, supporting the team and cheering.”
