Osimhen To Meet With Lille’s Board Over Potential Exit

The Super Eagles star has rejected a move to the Italian Serie A, but he may still yet quit the French Ligue 1 after just one season

Victor Osimhen will meet with Lille’s officials in the next two weeks to discuss his future at the club. The Nigeria international has been linked with a host of clubs in Europe, and he is set to decide if he’ll be staying with Christophe Galtier’s side beyond this season.

Recently, it was reported that Lille received an 85m euros bid for the former Wolfsburg striker from an unnamed club.

According to La Voix du Nord via GFFN, Lille have received a considerable number of offers from some Italian clubs, but Osimhen is not interested in a move to the Italian topflight.

However, the former Royal Charleroi hotshot could still yet leave the Stade Pierre-Mauroy this summer, and he’s set to meet with Lille’s board in the next two weeks.

The Nigeria international only joined Les Dogues this season, but he has settled in brilliantly. With 18 goals and six assists in 38 games for Lille, Osimhen is one of the best strikers in Europe’s top five leagues this season.
