‘The market is blocked’. Napoli have spoken out on Osimhen's future

For several transfer windows in a row now, Napoli leader Victor Osimhen has been linked with Antonio Conte's departure from the team. But, time goes on and the Nigerian still represents the Neapolitan club. Napoli themselves have spoken out about his future.

The club's CEO Giovanni Manna echoed the words of Conte at a press conference, who said that because of the turmoil surrounding Osimhen, ‘the market is blocked’:

‘That it is blocking the market, as Conte said, is an objective fact. Victor is an important player with important parameters and it is clear that he wants to be. We wanted to preserve the integrity of the group and we made a common choice.

Now we will see what happens in the coming days. It is wrong to speculate today, we are working with his environment to find the best solution. Again, he's a player with important parameters, he's not a player you just have to agree with.

He has a contract for two more seasons. If a solution is not found by 30 August, we will be forced to talk to him,’ Manna is quoted by Sky Sports Italia.

It was previously reported that Osimhen is not interested in playing in the Premier League and he is close to moving to PSG.
