Transfer: ‘We Could Have Sold Him’ – Napoli Chief Admits Mistake In Not Selling Victor Osimhen Last Summer

Mauro Moliso, the Napoli director, has admitted that the club made a mistake by not selling Victor Osimhen last summer.

Osimhen was in big demand last summer following his impressive displays for the Partenopei in the 2022/23 season.

The 25-year-old scored 26 goals in 32 league appearances to help Napoli win the Scudetto.

The Nigeria international also rebuffed interest from Saudi club, Al Ahli.

Osimhen, however, signed a new contract last December with a release clause of €130m.

The huge release has scared off interested suitors, which the striker’s future is now uncertain.

Moliso said the Serie A club were wrong not to have sold Osimhen last summer.

“We made some mistakes in Osimhen’s management. I arrived in Naples in mid-July and I knew that there had been a very high offer from one of the biggest teams in Europe. In hindsight, we are all good, but perhaps we could have sold him,” he told Sportitalia via Corriere dello Sport.

My Upbringing Influenced My Activism – Falz

Folarin Falana, the famous Nigerian rapper, who is popularly known as Falz has narrated how his upbringing influenced his approach to activism.

The singer who led the #ENDSARS Protest in Lagos in 2020, explained that his activism did not begin that year.

Speaking in an interview on Menisms Podcast, he attributed his activism to Fela Kuti and his father, Femi Falana influence.

“Apart from Fela records, my dad has been an activist for over 40 years so having someone like that as a father, everywhere I went, someone had a story about what my father did for them. So that level of selflessness played a part in who I became.

”That was always at the back of my mind so with everything I was doing with my record, I drew inspiration from everything around me.

“I have always been conscious. So it’s not like I woke up one day. 2020 was a time when so much was happening that we needed to take further steps from just talking and walking the walk. Of course, I was going to be in front because I had been talking the talk anyway.”

“All of you have been so focused on your dream, and whether or not you take home a medal, I hope that being here means that it has come true for you!

“You should all be so proud, we know how hard you have worked to be the best of the best. Stay focused, keep going, my heart is with you!” She wrote.

According to TMZ, Dion was paid for her performance at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
