Victor Osimhen Left Out of Napoli’s Pre-Season Match Against Girona
In a surprising turn of events, Victor Osimhen has been left out of Napoli‘s squad for their pre-season friendly against Girona. This decision has sparked conversations about his future with the club.
The 25-year-old striker has been in exceptional form over the past three seasons, making him one of the hottest prospects in European football. Despite some interest from top clubs last summer, Napoli managed to keep him and even secured a new contract with Osimhen.
However, rumors are swirling that this summer could see him part ways with Napoli. Clubs like PSG, Arsenal, and Chelsea have all shown interest in acquiring his services, but the negotiations seem to be stalled over his asking price.
Recent reports indicate that Osimhen had shown a preference for joining PSG and even reached an agreement on personal terms with the French side. Unfortunately, discussions between PSG and Napoli have not progressed, keeping Osimhen in limbo.
Despite training with the team, Osimhen’s consistent exclusion from matches has intensified speculation about his departure. Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that he wasn’t called up for the friendly game against Girona.
Furthermore, it seems that Napoli’s new manager, Antonio Conte, has no plans to incorporate Osimhen into his strategy, as he is looking to sign Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea instead. The situation is developing, and fans are eager to see what happens next for the talented striker.
