Former Juventus striker, Fabrizio Ravanelli has warned Napoli that replacing Victor Osimhen will be very difficult this summer.
Osimhen has been linked with a move away from Napoli this summer, with leading clubs like PSG, Arsenal, and Chelsea in an expensive race for the striker's services.
There seems to be an acceptance around the club that the Nigerian forward will depart at the end of the season despite signing a contract extension last November.
According to reports, the 25-year-old has a release clause of around €130m in his new contract, a figure that is unlikely to deter Europe's elite.

Sky Sports pundit Luca Marchetti has identified potential landing spots for Victor Osimhen, with Chelsea and PSG emerging as frontrunners in the race for the Napoli striker's signature.
Ravanelli says Osimhen will be hard to replace
Osimhen, who scored 31 goals as the Neapolitans romped to their first Scudetto win in over 30 years, will certainly elevate most teams, and Ravanelli has warned Napoli to be cautious.
“Osimhen is among the best strikers in the world.
"He has incredible ferocity and is not afraid of anything. It will not be easy for Napoli to replace him”, Ravanelli said per Napoli Magazine.
Osimhen has scored 13 goals for Napoli this season, in what has been a disappointing title-defence.
