'You can't find another Osimhen' - Ex-Italy international on Napoli replacing their star striker
Published: May 09, 2024
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has become a vital cog in Napoli's machinery over the past three seasons, and his potential departure has cast a shadow over the club's future.
According to former Italian international Giuseppe Galderisi, Napoli might struggle to find a suitable replacement for the 25-year-old.
Osimhen's influence on Napoli's success cannot be overstated. He played a pivotal role in their Serie A triumph last season, contributing a staggering 26 goals.
His consistent brilliance has inevitably attracted the attention of European giants like Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG.
With a transfer seemingly on the horizon, Napoli braces itself to receive a hefty sum, with Osimhen's valuation hovering around €130 million.
The substantial transfer fee presents Napoli with an opportunity to reinvest in a new striker.
Names like Romelu Lukaku, Joshua Zirkzee, Viktor Gyokeres, and Jonathan David have been tossed around as potential replacements.
However, Napoli seems undecided on a clear favorite at this point.
Galderisi, a retired Italian forward, believes that Osimhen's skillset is unique and poses a significant challenge for Napoli to find a direct replacement.
"Scamacca is doing extraordinary things this year, but he is different from Osimhem. All you have to do is serve him and he scores goals," Galderisi remarked, according to Calcio Napoli.
"The European Championship will be fundamental for him to understand how much of an impact he can have in certain competitions.
"But replacing Osimhen with Scamacca is a big risk. Osimhen" He moves with ease, he always makes the right movement and when he starts again he becomes uncatchable.
"I would have rewarded his gesture on the occasion of the second goal in Udine, I would have given him the goal. You can't find another Osimhen in Europe, then we need to understand what Napoli wants to do."
The potential sale of Osimhen is likely to trigger a significant investment from Napoli in a new striker.
This could pave the way for another young, high-profile forward to arrive in Naples and fill the void left by the Nigerian star.
