Osimhen’s Training Update
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has been training separately from his teammates for the second consecutive day due to muscle fatigue. Multiple sources in Italy, including Il Corriere dello Sport, have reported that Osimhen worked out in the gym rather than joining the team on the pitch.
Contract and Transfer Clause
Osimhen recently signed a contract extension with Napoli, which includes a €130 million release clause. Despite this, no club has yet met the clause or submitted offers for the 25-year-old Nigerian star. He has begun pre-season training under coach Antonio Conte at Dimaro in Trentino Alto Adige.

Premier League Aspirations and Other Interests
Osimhen reportedly dreams of moving to the Premier League. However, Al Ahli and PSG are currently the most interested clubs in acquiring his services. French tabloid L’Equipe suggests that PSG will soon renew their pursuit of the Nigerian international as the summer transfer window heats up.
Potential Moves and Managerial Decisions
Antonio Conte is reportedly willing to part ways with Osimhen to bring in Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku. This development suggests that Osimhen may need to find a new club soon. However, L’Equipe also notes that PSG aims to offload strikers Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos before intensifying their chase for Osimhen.
Arsenal’s Position
Arsenal has reportedly abandoned plans to sign both Osimhen and Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres. The Gunners’ decision is primarily due to Osimhen’s hefty price tag of over £100 million, while Gyokeres’ £86 million release clause is also a significant obstacle. Additionally, both players are reportedly unwilling to join Arsenal without guaranteed starting positions.
Victor Osimhen’s situation remains uncertain as muscle fatigue keeps him from full training, and transfer speculations continue to swirl around the Nigerian striker.
