Former Napoli sporting director Cristiano Guintoli has said signing Victor Osimhen was the most difficult deal in his career.

The 25-year-old joined Napoli from Ligue 1 club, Lille in 2020, with Guintoli, who is now at Juventus facilitating the move.

Guintoli revealed it took him four months to bring the Nigeria international to Napoli.

When Corriere della Sera asked Giuntoli, now at Juventus, what was the most difficult deal in his career, he replied: “Perhaps Victor [Osimhen]. It took me four months to bring him to Napoli.”

The powerful striker joined Galatasaray on loan until the end of the season earlier this month when his release clause at the Stadio Maradona was lowered from €130m to €75m.

“Maybe he should have been sold earlier, but Aurelio [De Laurentiis, Napoli President] is a wise and intelligent businessman. I owe him so much, and I love him,” concluded Giuntoli.
