Victor Osimhen has started the pre-season with Napoli, but the Nigeria international keeps waiting for offers to leave the Stadio Maradona.
Osimhen arrived at Castel Volturno this morning to undergo medical examinations with Napoli and start the pre-season under Antonio Conte.
Osimhen is not expected to remain at the Stadio Maradona beyond the summer, but he hasn’t yet received formal offers to leave the club.
His contract includes a €130m clause, and despite links with Chelsea and PSG, the Partenopei have not yet heard from potential suitors, so their star striker will start preparing for the new campaign with the rest of the team.
La Repubblica reports that Osimhen was among the first players to arrive at Napoli’s training centre on Tuesday morning.
The group included Leonardo Spinazzola and Rafa Marin, who had had medical tests on Monday, while Alessandro Buongiorno will undergo examinations on Wednesday. Antonio Conte is prepared to part company with Osimhen, as the coach explained in his first press conference. Romelu Lukaku has emerged as the primary option to replace the Nigerian striker.

Victor Osimhen appreciates his decision to join Galatasaray on loan from Napoli, adding that he didn’t want anyone to decide his future. The Nigeria striker made this assertion while reflecting on his protracted summer transfer saga that saw Napoli desperately sell him off to Al-Ahli and Chelsea in the embers of the window, with the latter his long-term choice destination offering peanuts for his signature. The 25-year-old said that he was prepared to remain at Napoli for another three or four months and secure a move to one of his suitors in January, reiterating the relief ushered by the Galatasaray offer. “I had plans to stay there and wait for three or four months and leave in January, but I think for me it was fair also to stay there because I wouldn’t let anyone decide for me,” Osimhen told Turkish media, including TRT Spor, from the Galatasaray training centre.
