Former Napoli sporting director Mauro Meloso has said owner Aurelio De Laurentiis was right not to sell Victor Osimhe to Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG were desperate to sign Osimhen in the summer of 2023.
The Nigeria international played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Scudetto success in the 2022/23 season.
PSG also met with Osimhen’s representatives to discuss a potential transfer to the French capital.
Napoli however rejected the Ligue 1 giants approach, with the striker spending one more season in Naples before leaving Galatasaray.
“Should Osimhen and Kvara have been sold together to PSG immediately after their third Scudetto? At that point, De Laurentiis didn’t want to weaken Napoli,” Meloso told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“On hindsight, it is easy to say he should have sold them.
“It would have sent a terrible signal to the club after winning the Scudetto and losing Spalletti (coach) and Guintoli (sporting director).
“He refused for the good of Napoli, but there are some things that go well and others that don’t.”
