He was supposed to be among the first illustrious transfers of this summer. Now he even risks staying at Napoli and living the 2024-2025 season separated at home. Victor Osimhen’s move to Chelsea is now offwith the delegation of the Blues upon returning to England with nothing in his hands.
The deal with Al-Alhi has also been temporarily cancelled. The 80 million increase requested by De Laurentiis would have compromised the deal with the Saudi club, which in the meantime has protected itself with the name of Toney. Medical visits and exchange of documents are underway for the English striker, who however has not yet been made official.
Osimhen Fury, the scenario by September 2nd
The Saudi market for outgoing operations from Italy will close on September 2nd and mending the rift with the Saudi club will be a real mystery to be solved over the course of the weekend. Meanwhile Osimhen remains at Napoli and remains out of the squad.
The behavior of the Azzurri would have compromised his pharaonic arrival in Arabia, generating the fury of the Nigerian and his entourage. The relationship between the bomber and Napoli is totally damaged and, net of (almost impossible) twists of fate, there will be no hope of reintegration for Osimhen in Conte’s rotations.
As also reiterated by The teamthe Nigerian has no intention of playing a single more minute in the Napoli shirt, after the treatment he received from the club today.
Osimhen out of the squad, how to manage him in Fantacalcio
In short, It’s a total break between Osimhen and the Azzurri. A clear warning to the most reckless fantasy football managers (and the even more hopeful ones): the former Lille player is not an attractive profile for the September auctions.
Napoli’s hope now is to find an agreement with Al-Alhi by September 2, on the same basis with which the Azzurri had shook hands by Chelsea.
