“Conte Drops Osimhen from Napoli Squad for Coppa Italia Clash Amid Transfer Uncertainty”
Napoli manager Antonio Conte has made the notable decision to exclude Victor Osimhen from the squad for their Coppa Italia clash against Modena. This move comes amid ongoing uncertainty regarding Osimhen’s future with the Serie A club.
With Napoli exploring the possibility of selling the Nigerian striker, they have reportedly agreed on personal terms with Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku. The club has attempted to arrange a swap deal with Chelsea, but Osimhen’s reluctance to accept a wage reduction and loan terms without an obligation to buy has complicated the situation. Osimhen’s current contract includes a release clause of approximately €130 million.
