Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions
Conte himself has confirmed that Kvaratskhelia will not leave the club this season, because his contract still runs until 2027 at Napoli. This was also confirmed by the president of Napoli that Kvaratskhelia is a great player and will stay at the club this season.

However, based on the latest news, Kvaratskhelia rejected Napoli's offer and has not yet continued talks. Yes, it is an option extension contract until 2029, but the player is not interested in that yet. Previously, based on rumors, PSG was interested in taking Kvaratskhelia, but that was just a rumor and certainly won't happen this season after the statement from Napoli.
And for Osimhen, he will still leave Napoli and Napoli have also made a new clause release for Osimhen. Based on the latest news, Napoli's release price for Osimhen is around €120m... and Chelsea is still a candidate club which is currently quite close to Osimhen's transfer.
Most likely what will happen is like the previous news, namely by swapping Osimhen to Chelsea and Lukaku to Napoli. And negotiations are still ongoing today. Meanwhile, Conte also agreed to negotiate with Osimhen.

I can't imagine what would happen if Napoli lost two great players, namely Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen. That would definitely be a bad situation for Napoli. but losing one of them might not be that big of a deal. But fortunately, Kvaratskhelia doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving this season and the coach and the club have also spoken about this, saying that Kvaratskhelia is still really needed and will be retained within the club.

But speculation in the transfer market about Osimhen still feels ambiguous to me. Chelsea reportedly has no intention of making a swap regarding Lukaku. And just want to focus on selling Lukaku. Meanwhile, Chelsea is also reportedly the closest to bringing in Osimhen. But on the one hand, I haven't heard any offer from this club to Osimhen. Maybe everything is still in the negotiation stage. But there is no update regarding the negotiations that may already be underway. Osimhen's closeness to Arsenal is also the same. i.e. everything looks uncertain. So it seems that it is certain that Osimhen will remain with Napoli in this pre-season. And he might not leave this season if an official offer has not come from a club interested in him. PSG are even interested in Osimhen but there is no further news about this.
