Osimhen Does Not Want To Play For Napoli Again – Manna

Napoli sporting director, Giovanni Manna has revealed Victor Osimhen made it clear he does not want to play for the club again.

Osimhen failed to secure a move away from the Partenopei on transfer deadline day.

Chelsea and Saudi Pro League club, Al-Ahli made strong effort to sign him but the move collapsed.

Napoli on Saturday excluded the Nigerian international from their Serie A squad and stripped him of the number nine shirt.

“The situation is very clear, it has been since the end of last season.

“Victor expressed his absolute desire to not stay at Napoli, to not play for Napoli, and we tried to make him happy,” Manna told DAZN.

“Then there is a demand and an offer, we thought that we had concluded the negotiations, but then it did not go through.

“We bought Lukaku, kept Raspadori and Simeone, which was not to be taken for granted.”

Osimhen’s future remain unclear at the moment but he could secure a move to Saudi Arabia with the transfer window in the Asian country still open.
