Osimhen champion chose exclusivity and big brands Michele Franzese Moda
Osimhen
Osimhen, the last of six children, was born in Lagos, the economic capital of Nigeria, a metropolis with over 15 million inhabitants. His father, Patrick, decided to move the family from Edo, in the south-west of the country, to Lagos. His childhood was marked by extreme poverty and deprivation. To help the family, he used to accompany his mother (who passed away a few years ago) to street crossings in Lagos, where they sold packets of drinking water to passing motorists. His life was difficult, marked by a constant struggle for survival in a hostile environment. To help his family, he did various odd jobs, as well as distributing water at intersections. From a young age, he attended school, helped his mother on the streets and played football. Local talent scouts noticed him and took him to a small youth team in Lagos, the Strikers Academy, where he stayed from 2010 to 2017. In the summer of 2020, the transfer to Napoli for a record 70 million euros, making him the most expensive purchase in the history of Calcio Napoli, even surpassing that of Maradona, whose card in 1984 was paid to Barcelona for 13 and a half billion lire. His first year with the Azzurri shirt was conditioned by a serious shoulder injury suffered during a match with the national team and the Covid-19, and ended with 10 goals in 30 games. His second season at Napoli was better, despite a serious injury (fractured cheekbone and eye socket) that kept him out for two months, and Osimhen ended the season with 18 goals in 32 games. This year came his explosion and definitive consecration. Physical power, speed, aggressiveness, a sense of position, an extraordinary ability to assist: these are the characteristics that make Osimhen one of the most complete strikers in the world. The club and the fans love him, even if there is no certainty that his contract, expiring in 2025, will be respected to the end. The most important teams in Europe are ready to make pharaonic investments to take him away from Napoli. The city is aware of the risk, but whatever the outcome, no one will ever forget him, who was able to bring the Scudetto back to Naples after 33 years and make an entire nation happy.
