I think Partizan just signed him on a permanent.
Lille are rumored to be bringing in Yilmaz.Loic Remy is leaving
Benevento and Reggina are the other Italian teams I'm currently interested in seeing next season. How do you think Osimhen fits into the current Napoli setup?
I wanted to wait until deal is done before commenting.
Everyone knows my opinion of Osimhen. He is like a roach-- they survive in any condition. He is a fighter, a survivor, a winner! When you have those qualities, you can thrive in any condition.
One thing i will say though is that anyone who has watched Gattuso's Napoli-- its surprising that a guy who was a hard tackling, aggressive defensive midfielder is so much interested in possession and creative football. I think he took a lot from Ancelotti when he played under him, but I will never have imagined that RIno will turn out into this type of coach. I assumed he would be like Simeone. So, one thing you'll be certain of is that there will be chances galore! Napoli, even right now, create a lot of chances. Unlike Lille, where many times, Victor had to fight to create his own chances, at Napoli they will give him the ball on a platter. Before Gattuso came, they were struggling very badly. He came in and began to drag them back and they won the Coppa Italia. In janaury, they worked on their midfield and gave him the "pirlo" midfielders that he wanted -- Demme and Lobotka. This summer, they are working on the attack and are negotiating for Boga (Sassuolo), Cengiz Under (Roma) and Darwin Nunez (Almeria). They are also going to bring back Petagna (SPAL).
Additionally, one thing Rino has always complained of is that he does not have "his" striker. The type of striker he likes-- the one that fights for every single ball with a mad man's aggression. The type of striker that will take all the chances that their midfielder serve on a platter every game.
You can see those characteristics in Osimhen and Nunez.
