Osimhen removed from Napoli season squad

Napoli has officially removed Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from their Serie A squad list for the 2024-25 season, with his iconic No. 9 jersey handed to new signing Romelu Lukaku.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news, revealing that Osimhen’s failure to secure moves to Chelsea or Al-Ahli on transfer deadline day led to this decision.

While Osimhen had agreed on personal terms with Al-Ahli for €30 million per season, negotiations collapsed due to Napoli’s demands for additional bonuses.

There’s still a slim chance for a move before the Saudi transfer window closes on September 2.
