*’Many Options’ Open For Osimhen Amid Napoli Exile, Says Napoli Director Manna

Napoli have removed Victor Osimhen from their Serie A squad list and also handed his squad number (nine) to new signing Romelu Lukaku.

The Nigeria was unable to secure a move away from the Serie A club on transfer deadline day despite strong efforts by Chelsea and Al-Ahli to secure his services.

Osimhen has two years remaining on his contract.

Saudi club Al-Ahli offered the striker a mouth-watering offer reportedly worth €40m per season.

The move fell through when Napoli asked for more on the transfer fee. Al-Ahli eventually decided to sign England international Ivan Toney from Brentford instead.

Chelsea on the other hand were unable to match his personal demands.

Napoli director Giovanni Manna insists there are “many options” still open for Victor Osimhen, who has been exiled from their squad for the Serie A season after failing to clinch a transfer.

“The situation is very clear. Victor expressed his absolute desire to not stay at, or play for, Napoli,” Manna told DAZN on Saturday.

“We tried to make him happy. Then there was a demand and an offer, and we thought we had concluded negotiations, but then it didn’t go through.

“He expressed his desire to no longer play for Napoli and so we made other choices.

“The transfer market is still open in some countries, so there are many options, but I don’t think Victor will go to Saudi Arabia.”

Napoli picked up their second win of the Serie A season on Saturday, with stoppage-time goals from Lukaku and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa firing them to a 2-1 comeback victory over Parma.

After that game, Conte confirmed Osimhen was not part of his plans, saying: “No player will be reintegrated.

“Those who are out of the project will remain out of the project. We made our choices and work in one direction all together.”
