Napoli have made a significant statement ahead of the new Serie A season by leaving star striker Victor Osimhen out of their squad.
The exclusion of the Nigerian forward, alongside Portuguese defender Mario Rui, signals that both players are no longer part of the club’s plans moving forward.
Sources close to the situation reveal that Napoli’s decision reflects a clear intent to move on without Osimhen and Rui, who are considered out of the project.
The players’ absence from the squad list indicates a severe breakdown in relations, with both Osimhen and Rui reportedly seeking exits from the club.
For Osimhen, this marks a critical turning point in his relationship with Napoli. The striker, who has been pivotal to the team’s recent successes, is said to feel that his chapter in Naples has come to an end. However, he is determined to leave the club on his own terms, suggesting that any move away will be carefully considered.
The situation between Osimhen and Napoli has deteriorated rapidly, with insiders describing the relationship as “completely broken.”
The 24-year-old forward, who was a key figure in Napoli’s first Serie A title in over three decades, now finds himself at odds with the club’s management, raising questions about his future.
As the transfer window approaches its climax, all eyes will be on Osimhen and whether Napoli can find a resolution that satisfies all parties involved.
The saga promises to be one of the most intriguing stories of the season as Napoli, without their star striker, brace for a challenging campaign ahead.
