Former footballer and coach Nassim Mendilwho we have seen at work with numerous teams in Italy (from Avellino to Lecco, passing through Cosenza, Reggina, Ascoli, Spezia, Salernitana, Ancona and Pro Sesto) spoke to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, focusing on the situation of Victor Osimhen, Napoli’s star centre-forward who, among others, is also linked to PSG, even if Napoli’s main path seems to be the one that leads to Chelsea.
Mendil says: “I am in France and here they are talking about a negotiation between Napoli and PSG for Osimhen, but the figures would not exceed 80 million. Here they say that Luis Enrique does not want Osimhen, he has power in the market and in my opinion it will be difficult for the Nigerian to go to Paris. Luis Enrique has a say in the matter and after Mbappè’s departure they gave him some power over the purchase of players and Osimhen is not his first choice”.
Conclusion then on Cheddira: “Conte has always had top class attackers and the coach is worried about the Osimhen issue. I see Cheddira more than Simeone as an alternative to Lukaku. Cholito wants more space and if he didn’t play last year it would be difficult to play this year too, especially without the European cups”.
