Napoli is actively working on the sale of their star player, Victor Osimhen, during this transfer window.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Nigerian forward has not been called up for Napoli's upcoming friendly match against Girona.
Napoli and Osimhen's camp are continuing efforts to finalize his departure soon, as Antonio Conte prefers Romelu Lukaku as the main forward.
There were earlier reports suggesting that Lukaku would join Napoli on a permanent basis, with the clubs still negotiating the transfer fee for the Belgian's move to Italy.
Meanwhile, Osimhen was rumored to be moving to Chelsea on loan with an option for a mandatory purchase at the end of the season. However, Osimhen's agent, Calenda, has denied these reports and urged respect for the player by refraining from spreading fake news.
Victor Osimhen has scored 76 goals in 133 matches across all competitions during his four seasons with Napoli.
