In the Serie A match that concluded in the early hours of September 1, Napoli staged a comeback against Parma with two stoppage-time goals from Lukaku and Anguissa, winning 2-1. After the game, head coach Conte and the team’s sporting director once again confirmed that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen will no longer play for the team.
“The situation is very clear. Osimhen expressed his absolute desire not to stay at or play for Napoli. We tried to make offers to meet his demands, thinking we had completed negotiations, but it did not succeed. He stated he does not want to play for Napoli anymore, so we made other choices. (In some countries) the transfer market is still open, so there are many options, but I don’t think Victor will go to Saudi Arabia.” Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna said in an interview with DAZN.
Conte said after the game, “I am very happy to work together with the team in the transfer market. If there is an opportunity to sell Osimhen, we will facilitate this transfer. But I am still very happy.”
This summer transfer window, Osimhen sought a transfer but failed to reach agreements with Chelsea and Al Ittihad Jeddah, ultimately failing to leave before the transfer window closed in the top five leagues.
