There is no doubt that Osimhen is a very talented player. In the 2022-23 season we saw Osimhen's excellent performances. Osimhen could not appear in all the matches due to injuries in the last season. Even so, Osimhen's performance in the last season was good enough. Even then, Osimhen is having trouble getting a new team. The main reason for this is that the Napoli management is demanding a high price for Osimhen.
From what I have seen in the news Napoli management wants 100 million for Osimhen. This is a huge amount. Major clubs such as PSG, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea were interested in adding Osimhen to the squad. But no club will spend 130 million to add Osimhen to the squad. Napoli must reduce Osimhen's price even more.
Osimhen is still young and still has a contract at Napoli at least until 2026, so even if these teams are not willing to recruit Osimhen at a high price also the reality is that Osimhen will still be fine at Napoli. Moreover, Napoli's new manager Conte is a great manager, and if Osimhen stays at Napoli, it is very likely that Osimhen's quality and performance will improve and be even better under Conte's coaching later. But yes, if for example these elite teams are still very interested in recruiting Osimhen but are not willing to pay dearly, then the solution may be to trade by giving their key players to get Osimhen from Napoli.
Osimhen is Napoli most valuable asset, clubs interested in recruiting him must be brave enough to pay his release clause at a high price, except for the Saudi Pro League club, they are brave enough to act crazy without much consideration. Staying for another season and playing under Conte is not a bad thing, because Osimhen has the opportunity to achieve success in the future. Meanwhile, Osimhen market value can certainly change because it is influenced by his performance on the field. Osimhen injury last season prevented him from becoming Serie A top scorer again, and the change of three managers was also another cause.
On the other hand, we know that Osimhen is reluctant to move to the Saudi Pro League because he is still very young, his priority in the future remains the top European leagues. However, Napoli must realize that setting a high price for Osimhen also has a big risk, regardless of their goal of wanting to keep him or wanting to make a big profit, Osimhen can leave for free when his contract ends, this is like what happened between PSG and Mbappe. I don't think De Laurentiis will take too big a risk, and it is very likely that Osimhen will be released in this transfer window.
Antonio Conte and Napoli will implement their agreement to sell Victor Osimhen this summer. The Nigerian has attracted interest from several clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal and rejected an offer to move to the Saudi Arabian League last year. For the first time as Napoli coach, Conte revealed that he had received confirmation that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Frank Anguissa and Stanislav Lobotka would not be sold, however, he could not say the same for Osimhen. If Napoli are able to sell Osimhen in the transfer market, they will bring in Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku after appearing quite impressive with the loan club, AS Roma.
