Napoli director of sport Cristiano Giuntoli admits they’ve been watching Victor Osimhen since the 2015 U17 World Cup in Chile.
Osimhen arrived this summer from Lille.
“I remember Osimhen in the Under-17 World Cup and he had a great tournament. It was a tough negotiation process because it was done at a distance, so clearly we didn’t get the usual sense of whether this was going to work or not,” said Giuntoli.
“Thankfully, it all went well. It was an expensive investment, but we are convinced he will do very well.”
Giuntoli also insisted Hirving Lozano is not for sale.
“We believe he can only do better, so the desire is to continue together,” he added.
