Conte to meet with Victor Osimhen amidst transfer speculations

Napoli’s new manager Antonio Conte is set to hold a face-to-face meeting with star striker Victor Osimhen amidst ongoing transfer speculations.

The Super Eagles forward has attracted interest from top European clubs, including Chelsea, Paris Saint Germain, Manchester United and Arsenal.

According to reports from Cronache di Napoli via Tuttomercatoweb, Conte aims to discuss Osimhen’s situation ahead of the 2024/2025 season.

With €130 million release clause, potential suitors have been hesitant to meet Napoli’s asking price.

Conte’s discussion with Osimhen is expected to address the player’s future at the club and his role under the new management.

Despite the high release clause, the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal have shifted their focus to other targets.

Osimhen, who has been crucial for Napoli, leading them to the Serie A title in 2022, might stay unless a European club agrees to pay the hefty release clause.
