New Napoli coach Antonio Conte has said he has accepted that Victor Osimhen will quit the Serie A club this summer.
“I’m aware of his situation, I know there’s an agreement with the club so it’s a different case compared to others”, Top Transfer Expert Fabrizio Romano quoted the former Chelsea boss.
“There’s a pact between Victor and Napoli on his future and I accepted that”.
That may well explain why Conte has been rumoured to now be interested in bringing Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku to Napoli.
“Lukaku is an excellent player,” he remarked.
“You always want a player like him to be with you, and not against you.”
Osimhen has a release clause of about 130 Million Euros after he signed a new contract with Napoli that has a terminal date of June 2026.
Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli tabled a life-changing offer to the African Player of the Year in January, but he eventually turned it down.
PSG and Chelsea were reported to be interested in signing the Super Eagles forward.
