Super Eagles ace Victor Osimhen has been advised by former Napoli striker Cristian Bucchi to stay at the club and play under new manager Antonio Conte, given the lack of European suitors for the striker.
Osimhen, 25, has publicly stated his desire to leave Napoli, hence, the club inserted a €130 million release clause into his contract. However, following an underwhelming season marred by injuries, and PSR clamping down on unchecked spending in the Premier League, suitors have been few and far between at the quoted price.
