Napoli’s Director Draws Comparisons Between Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku
Napoli’s director, Giovanni Manna, has drawn parallels between Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku, two talented strikers with impressive resumes in European football. While discussing their attributes, Manna acknowledged that Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, is not yet at the same level as Lukaku in terms of their respective careers.
Manna highlighted Lukaku’s remarkable achievements, emphasizing that the Belgian striker has surpassed the 300-goal mark in his professional career. This impressive milestone underscores Lukaku’s effectiveness and consistency as a top-tier forward.
In the summer transfer window, Napoli manager Antonio Conte opted to replace Osimhen with Lukaku, a move that has generated significant interest and debate among fans and analysts.
Since joining the club, Lukaku has made a significant impact in Serie A, scoring four goals and providing four assists in just 10 appearances this season. His contributions have been instrumental in Napoli’s attacking efforts.
Commenting on Lukaku’s integration into the team and his performance, Manna stated, “Lukaku is a player who seamlessly adapts to the Italian football market. With each match, there’s a growing buzz around him. He’s demonstrated a proactive attitude that benefits the entire squad, scoring four goals and delivering four assists.”
Manna acknowledged Osimhen’s enduring legacy, noting that the Nigerian striker has left a lasting mark on Serie A in the eyes of Napoli fans.
However, he emphasized that the two players represent different stages of a striker’s journey, highlighting Lukaku’s vast experience and goal-scoring prowess: “Lukaku’s legacy is truly remarkable; he’s reached the extraordinary milestone of 300 goals in his career.”
