Ex Atalanta Star Gives Reason Why Lukaku Is Better Than Osimhen for Napoli

Victor Osimhen left Napoli to join Turkish champions Galatasaray on a season-long loan this summer The Italian club had signed Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku as his replacement before he moved A former Napoli star has explained why the former Chelsea star is better than the Super Eagles forward 

A former Napoli striker has explained why the Italian club made the right choice to let Victor Osimhen leave and signed Romelu Lukaku as his replacement. 

Osimhen was determined to leave Napoli last summer after four years at the club, and his transfer dragged on throughout the transfer window before securing a loan to move to Galatasaray. 

Chelsea and Napoli had initially discussed a swap deal for Osimhen and Lukaku, but the Nigerian forward rubbished the idea, forcing the clubs to do the deal separately. 

According to Goal, the Belgian reunited with Antonio Conte at Napoli, but Chelsea and Osimhen failed to reach an agreement, and the deal collapsed on the deadline day. 

Why Lukaku is better than Osimhen Former Napoli striker German Denis has shared his thoughts on his former club replacing Osimhen with Lukaku and why it is the right choice by the Neapolitans. “We saw a Lukaku in form, even if Conte knows perfectly well what he lacks. He is a Lukaku who is very generous, he plays for the team, yesterday he made two assists as an attacking midfielder,” he said as quoted by Tribal Football. 

“Lukaku in place of Osimhen? I don’t know if Osimhen would have been as suitable for Napoli as Lukaku is with Conte. Napoli made the right choice,” he added.
