The Sporting Director of Napoli Giovanni Manna has provided an update on the Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.
Recall that Osimhen proposed move away from the club collapsed on Friday after Napoli failed to reach agreement with the Saudi Arabia side Al Ahli.
Osimhen also failed to reach a conclusion with the English Premier League side Chelsea who also indicated interest in his services.
“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”.
“At this moment, we maintain the same consistency we had since the start: he expressed the desire to no longer play for Napoli and so we made other choices.”
“The transfer market is still open, there are many options, but I don’t think Victor will go to Saudi Arabia in this transfer session,” Manna added.
