    ‘I sold Koulibaly at last minute’ – Napoli president speaks on Osimhen sale

    Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis won’t shut the door on selling Victor Osimhen.

    Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool are all being linked with the Nigeria international this week.

    ADL said at a function yesterday: “I have never not been calm when it comes to Osimhen, but it takes two to tango.

    “I remain the same; if his mood has changed, then there’s not much I can do about that. If, after a handshake, things change, that is disappointing. We take it into account, but life goes on.

    “We have a good rapport with him; the contract runs to 2025, so there is time. Don’t forget, I sold [Kalidou] Koulibaly at the last minute.”
