Victor Osimhen's future is expected to be resolved soon as his agent has a meeting scheduled with Napoli's president.

The Victor Osimhen transfer saga is coming to an end, as according to a recent report from an Italian publication, his fate will be decided in the next few days. 

Osimhen joined Napoli in the summer of 2020 from Lille. After four seasons, 133 games and 76 goals, the Nigeria international is close to ending his association with the club. 

Osimhen Desire’s Napoli exit 

Osimhen has conquered Italy with Napoli, leading the Partenopei to a historic Scudetto title. He now desires greener pastures and is itching to move to a club that matches his ambitions. 

He has a €130 release clause in his current contract, a fee that has caused his suitors to drag their feet. The lack of activity towards his exit from the club has meant his returning to Napoli for preseason; however, according to a Repubblica report relayed by TuttoNapoli, his future will be resolved in a matter of days.

Decision time approaching 

According to the aforementioned report, Osimhen's agent, Roberto Calenda, is set to meet with Napoli's president, Aurelio de Laurentiis, at the headquarters of the Sporthotel Rosatti, where he will table a report of all the offers Osimhen has received so far for them to evaluate. 

The report can confirm an offer from PSG; however, their bid is expected to be short of Napoli's ask. However, Saudi champions Al-Hilal are willing to match the price, and although the 25-year-old is reluctant to move eastward, The Blue Waves are confident they can present him with an offer impossible to refuse.

Meanwhile, Osimhen did not even make the bench as Napoli played their first pre-season friendly game, lending credence to rumours of a summer transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

Napoli took on local side Anaune Val di Non this afternoon as part of their pre-season preparations in the mountains of Dimaro.

Initially, Osimhen was named on the bench, but it quickly emerged he was actually in the stands and a note from the club explained that the striker has been training separately from the squad due to fitness issues and was therefore “not at the disposal” of new Napoli coach Antonio Conte.
