Following growing speculation surrounding Victor Osimhen\u2019s departure from Napoli, the Italian club has reportedly begun actively seeking a replacement for the Nigerian striker.<\/p>\n

Despite inking a contract extension until 2026 last December, Osimhen is expected to depart Napoli in the upcoming summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

As such, Napoli has identified three players, each presenting the perfect blend of talent and affordability, as potential contenders to replace the 25-year-old.<\/p>\n

According toTuttomercatoweb, Canadian forward David Jonathan of Lille tops Napoli\u2019s wishlist with his impeccable French Ligue 1 record of 15 goals and 2 assists in 26 league appearances.<\/p>\n

The 50 million euros projected price tag on David presents an enticing option for the Napoli board, given their financial constraints.<\/p>\n

Dutch-Nigerian star Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna also features on Napoli\u2019s shortlist of targets.<\/p>\n

He recorded 10 goals and 4 assists in 27 league outings, thanks to the tutelage of Thiago Motta.<\/p>\n

Finally, Feyenoord left-footed striker, Santiago Gimenez complete the three attackers on Napoli\u2019s list.<\/p>\n
