Transfer: Guintoli says Osimhen should have been sold earlier.

Former Napoli sporting director Cristiano Guintoli believes the club should not have waited until this summer to sell Victor Osimhen.

Guintoli, who now holds a similar job at Serie A heavyweights Juventus, helped Osimhen move to Napoli from Ligue 1 club Lille in 2020.

Osimhen departed Napoli to join Turkish Super Lig winners Galatasaray on loan last month, ending a lengthy transfer saga.
Guintoli claimed that Napoli took too long before opting to sell the striker.

"Maybe he should have been sold sooner, but Aurelio [De Laurentiis, Napoli President] is a wise and astute businessman." "I owe him so much and love him," he told Corriere della Sera.

Osimhen has made three appearances for Galatasaray since joining the club.
