Former Nigeria striker Peter Ijeh believes potential suitors are avoiding Victor Osimhen due to his attitude and character. In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Ijeh, who spent much of his career in Scandinavia, noted that Europe is a small community where attitude and character are key factors, something he feels Osimhen doesn't grasp.

"How I wish he understood that Europe is a small community that takes attitude and character as keys because it is directly influenced by children, and at the same time, they are notorious for double standards. Even Lagos is bigger than six countries, so it is more or less a community where everybody knows everybody," Ijeh remarked, reflecting on Osimhen’s recent verbal conflict with former Super Eagles coach Finidi George.

Osimhen has indicated that he has played his last match for Napoli, expressing his intention to leave the Diego Maradona Stadium at the end of last season. Napoli is open to selling him, but his £100 million release clause has been a significant obstacle. The club recently reduced the release clause to £85 million, attracting interest from Manchester United. However, the Red Devils, like Chelsea and Arsenal, have also backed out and are now in talks with Alvaro Morata.

Napoli even offered Osimhen to Manchester United in exchange for Mason Greenwood plus cash. Meanwhile, new Napoli coach Antonio Conte has reportedly informed Osimhen that he will not be the main striker next season.
