OSIMHEN

Napoli new boss Antonio Conte has requested for a face-to-face meeting with star striker Victor Osimhen to discuss his future amid uncertainty regarding his exit from the club.

The former Chelsea boss will likely discuss the possibility of the Super Eagles forward staying at Napoli with no club presently ready to pay his hefty €130m release clause.

The lists of interested clubs interested in his services is reducing by the day.

Chelsea and Manchester United have decided to shift focus on younger forwards like Samuel Omorodion and Joshua Zirkzee while Arsenal are now reportedly in talks with Viktor Gyökeres.

There is no bid forthcoming from PSG at the moment with only Al Ahli and Al Hilal looking as the only serious interested clubs but the 25-year-old is not interested in a move to the Saudi Pro League.

Thus, there is a possibility that the Nigeria international stays at Napoli unless a Premier League club turns up to pay his release clause.

Working with Conte could benefit Osimhen as the Italian tactician doesn’t only have a history of bringing the best out of strikers but also winning titles, particularly the Serie A which he has won four times.

Therefore, there is a possibility of him returning to his prolific best and winning more laurels under the 54-year-old.
