Memphis Depay could become Victor Osimhen’s teammate at Napoli as the Serie A giants are reportedly keen to sign Netherlands forward as a replacement for outgoing forward Lorenzo Insigne.
Insigne will end his 16-year association with the club at the end of this season when he joins MLS side Toronto FC on a free transfer.
Having been a staple in Napoli’s attack for almost a decade, Insigne will leave a large hole in Luciano Spalletti’s team.

According to Calciomercato, Barcelona man Depay is being eyed up to step into the Italian international’s shoes.
The report adds that there is unlikely to be an issue with the two clubs agreeing a deal, but it will come down to whether Depay is willing to take a pay cut as his currently salary is ‘abundantly out of the parameters’ of the Serie A side.
It emerged earlier this week that Barcelona will reportedly be ready to sell the Dutch forward this summer just a year after he joined from Lyon.
Depay has scored eight goals in 23 appearances in his debut campaign at the Nou Camp, but has played just twice in the last two months due to injury problems.

This guy will help Osimhen alot as he always has a high number of assists and goals unlike selfish Mafia like insigne….Good riddance. If Insigne was unselfish his assist tally would be high but always wants to be the center of attraction…Serious Napoleon complex.
