Victor Osimhen’s absence from Napoli’s Coppa Italia match against Modena highlights the uncertainty surrounding his future with the club. Despite his substantial salary and the lack of participation in pre-season friendlies, Osimhen is reportedly focusing on individual training.
This situation reflects ongoing transfer speculation and potential changes in his career trajectory.
Despite signing a new contract in December with a €130 million release clause, Victor Osimhen’s future remains uncertain as no suitors have met this clause. Paris Saint-Germain, a prominent interested party, has yet to make an offer exceeding €100 million for the 25-year-old Nigerian striker.
Victor Osimhen turned down Chelsea’s attempt to include him in a deal with Romelu Lukaku, as he was unwilling to accept a loan move or a pay cut.
This leaves him with limited options, with reports suggesting he is awaiting a renewed offer from PSG or a serious proposal from Saudi Arabia.
Since joining Napoli from Lille for a club-record fee of over €70 million in 2020, Osimhen has become the team’s key player. His current contract with Napoli runs until June 30, 2026.
