According to reports, Victor Osimhen is considering staying put at Napoli after top clubs keep ignoring a transfer move for the striker.
Osimhen is still rumoured to be leaving Napoli, but it's possible that the much-anticipated move may not take place this summer.
Top European teams and Saudi Arabian sides have all tried signing the Napoli star this summer but have been pushed back by the club's asking price.

According to French journalist Loic Tanzi on X, “The negotiations for Victor Osimhen have cooled, without it being over, in recent hours because neither Ramos nor Kolo Muani are close to leaving.
“The striker even spoke about staying in Naples, in private. He must have a discussion about this with Conte."
Osimhen isn't desperate to leave Naples, unlike what some rumours suggest, and he won't pressure Napoli to sell him.

Instead, the attacker for Super Eagles is willing to continue his career at Napoli for another year, working under manager Antonio Conte.
With the PSG deal in cold water, Osimhen will look to discuss remaining at Napoli with Conte and lead the attack for the Italian side next season.
