Osimhen: Napoli’s De Laurentiis made me wear lion mask, congratulate Galatasaray – İnler
Udinese technical director, Gökhan İnler, has opened up on the eccentric personality of Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis amid the ongoing transfer saga involving Nigeria international Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen, 26, is presently on the verge of moving to Galatasaray from Napoli this summer transfer window after his loan spell loan at the club last year.
Speaking with HT Spor as reported by habersarikirmizi, İnler also insisted that the football world should congratulate Galatasaray after they successfully secured Osimhen’s signing.
“I know Victor Osimhen well, he always wanted Galatasaray,” Inler said.
“When the signing happened, we should congratulate Galatasaray. It’s a really big transfer. I hope it happens soon.
“Aurelio De Laurentiis, as I know him, never gives up until the last minute. My transfer was difficult too, going from Udinese to Napoli.
“He made me wear a lion mask at the signing ceremony, even though I did not want it. The president insisted on it.”
