Well known football transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio has taken a swipe at Serie A side Napoli on the amount spent on signing Victor Osimhen from Lille last summer.
Napoli paid in excess of €90 million for the 22 year old last summer, a club record fee which they haven’t quite benefited from yet with Osimhen having a difficult time settling down at the team.
So far he has scored just five goals from 17 games in the Serie A largely due to the fact that he spent time out with a shoulder injury and later had to receive treatment for the Covid 19 virus.
Despite recognizing the potential of Osimhen, Di Marzio however made it clear that he isn’t worth all the money paid for him but he could come good in the future.

Di Marzio on Osimhen – He must mature, it must not be evaluated for what it has been paid for. He is a boy with a physique who has to learn movements that no one has ever taught him. He is not a player to buy at that high amount, he can be worth around 10/15 million. In a high-level team he can be a good alternative to the starting forward “.
