For Onazi though, while a potential return to the Serie A where the likes of Juventus and Roma are showing interest is not a bad idea, the Premier League is where the former Lazio star believes Osimhen’s talents belong.
“That [a move to Italy] would be a very good one for him, because there are characteristics of a club in Italy that are good choices to make,” Onazi told Footy-Africa.
“So, if Victor goes to clubs like Juventus, Inter Milan, AS Roma, those are clubs I would appreciate him to go to, because those are people who value the player who they have, and without any much problems. Although, you never can tell in the future what is going to happen.
“So, but for me, I would love to see Victor in an English club because that is where he can explore very good and that is more… he will have more broad chances, you know? And that’s one of the best leagues in the world, you know? So, I would love to see him there.
“But if Juventus comes for him and the conditions are okay, I just want to be sure that he has a very good condition, everything, all of his conditions are met, so he can be able to confidently play without any problems.
“So, for me, that would be amazing for him to play in Juventus. Juventus too is an amazing club for him to play too, but for me, England, is where I want to see. That’s where his talent belongs.”
Osimhen recently admitted that he would be open to playing for Juventus if the the opportunity arose in the future. But there’s no denying that a concrete offer from one of the top Premier League clubs will be difficult to ignore.
