Victor Osimhen, the electrifying Nigerian striker for Napoli, kicked off pre-season training on Tuesday at Castel Volturno. However, a shadow of uncertainty hangs over his future at the club. Despite widespread speculation of a summer transfer, Osimhen remains a Napoli player, for now.
While rumours linked him with clubs like Chelsea and PSG, Napoli hasn’t received any formal offers for their star forward. His hefty €130 million release clause seems to be a stumbling block for potential suitors.

With no concrete offers on the table, Osimhen finds himself preparing for the upcoming season under the guidance of new manager Antonio Conte.
Osimhen’s dedication to Napoli is undeniable. La Repubblica reports that he was among the first players to report for pre-season training on Tuesday morning. This commitment comes despite Coach Conte openly expressing his willingness to let Osimhen go. Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian powerhouse, has emerged as the frontrunner to replace Osimhen if a transfer materializes.
