Osimhen's immediate future
The Nigerian forward is largely expected to depart Napoli this summer despite the transfer window winding down.
The marquee forward is reported to have a price tag in the region of €130 million set by the club's hierarchy.
Osimhen recently signed a new contract with Napoli shortly before the commencement of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
Several clubs, including Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Arsenal, are reported to remain interested in signing the Nigerian forward.
Journalist explains reason for delayed Osimhen transfer

The Nigerian forward has been linked with a transfer to several clubs across Europe; however, it appears none of the clubs have been able to meet Napoli's valuation of the forward.
The Italian football expert details that the global financial meltdown experienced by several elite clubs across Europe is largely responsible for the delay in triggering the forward’s release clause.
