If they keep holding Victor Osimhen and he becomes a free agent, the club will lose lots of money. I am suspecting that Aurelio De Laurentiis is willing to lose money because he wants a bigger offer or wants to teach Victor some lessons. We have seen clubs blocking players from leaving because they had issues with them. Napoli should know that the Nigerian is not willing to move to the Saudi Professional League. It is not easy for a player to stay inactive for a whole season because it might affect their performance. But it seems it might be the case or Osimhen might have to go on loan for another season.

" When the sugar is gone, the cane is thrown away ". That is the right term to describe the situation Osimhen is currently facing. His team doesn't want to pay him anymore, but it's not easy for him to just find a new club, as Napoli has set a high price tag, so not many big European teams are interested because of that. It seems that Galatasaray is the only team that has made an offer, but Napoli still doesn't seem to have accepted it because the fee is not according to their wishes.

Osimhen could indeed be loaned out for another season, but that would be a loss for Napoli as Osimhen would be able to leave on a free transfer after that.

Osimhen's future is currently uncertain, and it seems Napoli are deliberately unwilling to let him go for a low price, and other clubs are also unable to meet Napoli's asking price.
I see this as a matter of Napoli's ego. Napoli are unwilling to lower their price, but they are taking the risk because they believe he will be sold at that price. Meanwhile, Oshimen still wants to stay in Europe, so he rejected an offer from a Saudi Arabian club because he believes he still deserves to play for an elite European team. It could be said that Oshimen is currently a discarded player and is no longer needed by Napoli. Since his release from Napoli, Oshimen has not played for Napoli but has been loaned to the Turkish league. I hope the Oshimen transfer issue will be resolved before the season starts.
