Napoli director, Mauro Moliso has acknowledged that the mistake the club made was not selling Victor Osimhen during the last summer transfer.
25-year-old Osimhen, who was in big demand last summer after his exceptional displays for the Partenopei in the 2022/23 season scored 26 goals in 32 league appearances to help Napoli win the Scudetto.
The Nigeria international also rebuffed interest from Saudi club, Al Ahli.
Osimhen, however, signed a new contract last December with a release clause of €130m.
The huge release has scared off interested suitors, which the striker’s future is now uncertain.
Moliso said the Serie A club were wrong not to have sold Osimhen last summer.
“We made some mistakes in Osimhen’s management. I arrived in Naples in mid-July and I knew that there had been a very high offer from one of the biggest teams in Europe. In hindsight, we are all good, but perhaps we could have sold him,” he told Sportitalia via Corriere dello Sport.
