“I’ve just arrived, and I understand that retaining Osimhen would be a significant achievement,” Meluso was quoted by Tutto Napoli.

” He brings a unique dimension to the team, and players like him are few and far between.

“However, I am still getting acquainted with the situation, and we will evaluate all options collectively with the management. Any decision made will be a joint one.”

Osimhen was top scorer in Serie A last season with 26 goals from 32 appearances.
