Napoli has already started building a new project under their current manager Gennaro Gattuso. They currently sit 7th in the Serie A table with one game remaining. They haven’t been able to perform as per expectations. So they have turned their attention towards the next season. Osimhen would add a great value to the Napoli squad for the 2020-21 season.
