Napoli has made it clear that they never intended to offend their star striker Victor Osimhen. The club has firmly rejected every transfer offer for Osimhen during the summer training camp, demonstrating their commitment to keeping him. 

Napoli's president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, emphasized Osimhen's importance to the team, stating his future at the club is not a topic for discussion and expressing satisfaction with the impending contract renewal. 

This response came after a controversy involving a social media video that was misinterpreted as a mockery of Osimhen.

Chelsea's Interest in Osimhen

Chelsea has shown significant interest in Osimhen as a potential solution to their challenges in front of the goal. Despite their keen interest, the club signed Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal instead. 

Osimhen's impressive performance in the previous Serie A season, where he scored 26 goals and helped Napoli win the Scudetto, has kept him on Chelsea's radar. 

His continued form this season, scoring five goals in seven appearances, suggests that he could be a valuable asset to the club.
