Napoli boss provides update on Osimhen future | OneFootball

Antonio Conte has provided an update on Victor Osimhen and said there have been ‘no changes’ regarding the forward’s future.

Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli this summer with Conte having confirmed there is a ‘pact’ between the player and club to agree a transfer away from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

The Nigeria international has a release clause of €130m (£109m) in his contract, a figure that Premier League clubs have so far been reluctant to match. Arsenal and Chelsea have been heavily linked with the 25-year-old, though it is Paris Saint-Germain who have firmed up their interest.

PSG reportedly had a £170m double bid for Osimhen and Napoli teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia rejected this week, with the Serie A side reluctant to lose both players in the same transfer window.

Conte has provided an update on Osimhen and said the player has informed him that there have been no further developments regarding a transfer.

“I spoke to Victor and there are no changes on his situation. He’s a top player,” Conte said in comments published by Fabrizio Romano.

“He’s Napoli player today so he needs to work hard, even if we’ve an agreement [for his potential exit] and still we don’t know the outcome of this story.”
