Despite signing a contract extension with Napoli, which includes a hefty £110 million release clause, Osimhen has reportedly made it clear he wishes to end his association with the Serie A giants.
A potential move to Paris Saint-Germain had been rumored, but the transfer fell through as the French champions are no longer seeking a new striker.
With no resolution in sight and the transfer window drawing to a close, Osimhen remains with Napoli, leaving his future uncertain.
‘Victor Osimhen has asked to leave the club. He wants to go,’ Manna said according to a post from Fabrizio Romano.
