Napoli Chief Provides Update On Osimhen’s Future

Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has said Victor Osimhen’s situation is blocked.

Osimhen is pushing to leave the Partenopei this summer.

“It’s an objective fact, what the coach said, the situation is blocked. Victor is an important player, with an important value and conditions,” Manna told Sky Sport Italia.

” His desire is clear. We tried to maintain the integrity of the squad at this moment. We are not the only club in this situation and we’ll see what happens over the next 10 days.”

He was asked if the club had sensations for whether the Nigerian was leaning towards Chelsea, PSG or Arsenal?

“At this time, it is not right to say what sensations there are. We are working with his entourage to find the best solution. As we said, he is an important player, so it’s not that we can just find him anywhere,”he added.

Manna also said they would need to talk to Osimhen if no club is willing to pay the right fee by the end of the transfer window.

“He is under contract for another two seasons, so clearly if we don’t find a solution by August 30, we’ll have to talk to the player,” he stated.
