This season Napoli failed to maintain the status of defending champions last season after Inter Milan managed to win the scudetto this season, Inter Milan's failure to defend the scudetto certainly made Osimhen disappointed especially this season Napoli is in a very bad state and even had to end the season outside the European zone, Napoli's failure this season certainly began to make Osimhen start thinking about his current future and it is likely that he will choose to leave if there is indeed a better offer from other clubs later, previously Osimhen was rumored to be getting closer to PSG but so far there has been no transfer move made by PSG to bring in Osimhen as a replacement for Mbappe who went to Madrid.
I think the only obstacle that Osimhen has at the moment is the high selling value pegged by Napoli, reportedly Napoli wants 110 million euros from the club that really wants to sign him, besides that the release clause that reaches up to 130 million euros is also a consideration for some teams who want to sign him, reportedly Chelsea is even now starting to withdraw from signing Osimhen after not reaching an agreement a few days ago, But now Arsenal are also starting to get pressure from their fans to recruit Osimhen as the main striker next season.
The decline in performance experienced by Napoli this season has made Osimhen want to leave the team. Conte arrival as Napoli manager next season does not seem to make Osimhen stay. Several clubs such as PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal and even clubs from the Saudi Pro League are reportedly interested in getting Osimhen services, Arsenal is now showing the most serious interest even though Napoli has set a high price. Arteta really needs a sharp striker, to be able to increase their winnings in every match. Indeed, this season Osimhen's performance has declined slightly, due to injury and he failed to become Serie A top scorer.
Meanwhile, I predict that the President of Napoli will push for Osimhen departure in this transfer window, so that his market price does not drop drastically, even though we know that Conte really needs a striker like him in the team. In anticipation of Osimhen departure, Conte will reportedly target Lukaku, but competition will be fierce if Mourinho Fenerbahce also have the same interest in Lukaku. If Osimhen leaves, it will be quite difficult for Conte to improve Napoli performance, let alone compete for the Scudetto next season. However, playing in the Premier League is the right decision for Osimhen, joining Arsenal is better than Chelsea.
