August 03, (THEWILL) – Victor Osimhen has resumed full training with Napoli, participating in both morning and afternoon sessions ahead of their upcoming match against Girona. The Nigerian striker had missed several pre-season games due to fitness concerns.
Despite ongoing transfer rumours linking Osimhen to Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli’s Director, Giovanni Manna, said the club is planning for the new season with the forward. However, negotiations with both interested clubs continue, with no agreement reached yet.
Chelsea may have an advantage in talks due to Napoli’s interest in Romelu Lukaku. The London club is reportedly willing to include Lukaku in a potential deal for Osimhen. PSG has already agreed terms with the striker but is reluctant to include Lee Kang-in, a player Napoli desires, in the transfer.
Osimhen’s future remains uncertain, but reports suggesting he might force a move appear unfounded. The 25-year-old’s return to training indicates his commitment to Napoli for the time being, as the Italian club prepares for their 2024/2025 campaign under new boss Antonio Conte.
The transfer saga surrounding Osimhen continues to develop, with both Chelsea and PSG keen to sign the prolific forward. Napoli, however, seems intent on retaining their star player unless a suitable offer is presented.
