Guintoli: Napoli Should Have Sold Osimhen Earlier.
Former Napoli sporting director Cristiano Guintoli has expressed that the club should not have waited until this summer to sell striker Victor Osimhen. Guintoli, who played a key role in Osimhen’s transfer from Lille to Napoli in 2020, now serves as sporting director at Serie A giants Juventus.
Speaking on the matter, Guintoli suggested that Napoli could have benefitted from making the sale sooner, rather than prolonging the transfer saga. This summer, after much speculation, Osimhen joined Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray on loan.
Osimhen’s move came after a protracted period of negotiations and rumours, which ultimately led to his departure from Napoli, where he had been a key figure since his arrival from France.
