Maresca addresses Osimhen links

Enzo Maresca, the manager of Leicester City, recently addressed the rumors linking his club with a move for Victor Osimhen, the prolific Napoli striker. These speculations have been gaining traction as Osimhen continues to impress with his goal-scoring abilities, making him a target for several top European clubs.

Maresca, however, seemed to downplay the links, suggesting that while Osimhen is indeed a top talent, a move to Leicester might be unrealistic at this point. The Italian manager emphasized the club's current focus on building a squad that can compete effectively in the Championship, as they aim for a swift return to the Premier League following their relegation last season. Maresca highlighted that Leicester's current transfer strategy is focused on adding players who fit within their budget and align with the club's long-term goals.

He acknowledged Osimhen's qualities but subtly implied that Leicester is not in the market for such a high-profile player, especially considering the financial implications of such a transfer. This statement suggests that while Leicester might admire Osimhen, the club is more likely to focus on realistic targets that align with their current status and ambitions.

Osimhen, who has been linked with several other top clubs across Europe, is reportedly valued at over €100 million by Napoli, a figure that would likely be beyond Leicester's current spending capacity.
