Victor Osimhen’s chances of playing for Napoli this season again have hit rock bottom after his failed transfer move.
The Napoli star’s transfer saga finally ended after Chelsea failed to convince him to leave Italy and remain with Napoli.
Chelsea were on the brink of bringing Osimhen to Stamford Bridge on loan but were offering the Nigerian a very low salary.
The offer got the 2023 African Best Player pissed and rejected the offer before deciding to stay put for another season.

Napoli announce new signing as Victor Osimhen watch continues
Napoli have announced their latest signing as the countdown to Victor Osimhen's exit continues.
Will Osimhen ever play for Napoli again?
Osimhen’s relationship with Napoli has reportedly collapsed following his failed transfer move away from the club.
Napoli failed to negotiate a deal with both PSG and Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli, who were ready to go all out for the Super Eagles star.
Instead, they negotiated a deal with Chelsea, who were willing to get the player on loan and offer him a pay cut of his salary at Napoli.
As it stands, the forward is not part of Antonio Conte’s plan for the season and may never play again until the next transfer window.
According to Fabrizio on X, “Victor Osimhen is also not part of the Napoli squad today vs Parma. The current relationship is completely broken while parties look for a solution.”
Napoli have already brought in Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea as a replacement for Osimhen, which is a direct message to the forward that he is not in the manager’s plan.
With the whole transfer failing to materialise, Osimhen will hope that come January, he will get a better offer to leave Napoli.
