"No player will be reintegrated," Conte declared per a Fabrizio Romano post. "Those who are out of the project will remain out of the project. We made our choices and work in one direction altogether."
These comments come amid speculation that Osimhen and Napoli were working towards reconciliation after the Nigerian international failed to secure a move away from the club on the recent transfer deadline day.

The relationship between Napoli and their star striker has deteriorated over the past year, with Osimhen seeking an exit and the club seemingly open to his departure.
Osimhen's transfer saga took several turns, including a rejected offer from Saudi club Al Ahli and what sources describe as a "derisory contract offer" from Chelsea.

With no move materialising, it appeared there might be a path for the striker to reintegrate into the squad.
However, Conte's firm stance suggests Osimhen may find himself sidelined for the remainder of the season. This development is a decisive setback for the Super Eagles star, who has been a key player for Napoli in recent campaigns.
The situation remains fluid, and it's unclear how Napoli will manage one of their most valuable assets going forward.
For now, it seems Osimhen's future at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona hangs in the balance, with potential ramifications for both the player's career and Napoli's ambitions this season.
