Napoli are determined to keep Victor Osimhen at the club this summer, after his huge success, and have slapped a huge asking price on him.
Last summer, Napoli lost a huge number of their most important players, with Kalidou Koulibaly, Fabian Ruiz, Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens all amongst those leaving.
Insigne and Mertens are third and fourth on the club's list of most ever appearances and second and first on the list of highest ever goalscorers.

However, those departures of not stopped them, with Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, whose recent goal against Atalanta proved why he's been dubbed 'Kvaradona,' leading the charge to the top of the Serie A table.
As well as being all but guaranteed their first league title since 1990, when Diego Maradona was leading the side, they have a great chance in the Champions League.
They're even favourites out of the whole tournament to reach the final, according to recent analysis, thanks to their rather favourable draw.

That success has inevitably led to their best players being linked with potential summer moves, with Nigeria striker Osimhen top of that list.
He has been strongly rumoured to be one of United's top targets but, according to Il Mattino, the Naples side want £150 million for the forward, and won't even sit down to discuss a transfer for any less.
A striker is Erik ten Hag's priority for the summer, as he looks to bring in more outlets than just Marcus Rashford for goals in his side.

Harry Kane is reportedly their top target, with the Tottenham Hotspur striker having just over one year left on his contract in north London.
Despite that, the Premier League side apparently won't settle for anything less than £100 million, with chairman Daniel Levy wanting it all upfront, rather than in installments.
At just 24-years-old, Osimhen may appeal to United as someone who can score goals for them for longer, having bagged 21 goals in 23 league games in the current campaign.
Unfortunately for United, like Levy at Spurs, the Italian side's president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, is known for being a very tough negotiator.

With the former Lille striker's contract not up for another two years, he'll be in less of a rush to sell him, even if Osimhen has admitted he dreams of playing in the Premier League one day.
Chelsea have also been linked with the striker, and Todd Boehly's recent spending suggests he won't exactly be put off by the fee involved.
