Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has submitted a transfer request to the Serie A giant, as he is looking forward to quickly accelerating an early exit from the club.
Oshimen has been on the transfer market for a big money move away from Napoli, and it is likely to come to pass before the end of the 2024/25 transfer window.
During the Napoli press conference before their first match against Modena in the Coppa Italiana, the club’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, said, “Victor Osimhen has asked to leave the club. He wants to go. The situation is clear; there were already chances for his exit last summer. Victor wants to leave. We will see in the next 20 days.”
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have explored a deal to sign the Nigerian striker. Chelsea want to bring in a new striker after signing Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid.
Paris Saint-Germain had considered the Nigerian a long-term replacement for Kylian Mbappe after the French attacker joined Real Madrid. However, they will have to stick to Goncalo Ramos and Kolo Muani ahead of next season.
The Nigerian striker was left out of the Napoli pre-season friendly matches by Antonio Conte. The Italian manager has consistently stated that he wants Romelu Lukaku as the new striker for the team.
Antonio Conte won the Serie A title with Inter Milan, with Romelu Lukaku being the main striker in 2021. Lukaku has been forced to train with the Chelsea U21 team ahead of next season.
Osimhen has a release clause of £110.8 million in his Napoli clause. He is finding it difficult to leave Napoli because of the huge release clause.
