Osimhen’s €10m annual salary also poses long-term financial challenges for Napoli, especially if they plan to rebuild under Conte.

Napoli may need to lower their asking price for striker Victor Osimhen, as no clubs have approached despite hopes to sell him this summer.
Despite being their top scorer for the past two seasons, including the Scudetto-winning 2022/23 campaign, Napoli is ready to sell Osimhen. He signed a new contract in December, extending to summer 2026, with a release clause around €120m–€130m.
Napoli expected offers from Chelsea, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain, but according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, no official approaches have been made.
This situation could pose a challenge for Napoli and new coach Antonio Conte, who may be counting on Osimhen’s sale to fund other transfers this summer, including a potential deal for Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku.
Osimhen’s €10m annual salary also poses long-term financial challenges for Napoli, especially if they plan to rebuild under Conte.
Club President Aurelio De Laurentiis is awaiting feedback from sporting director Giovanni Manna and Osimhen’s agents before making further decisions, but La Gazzetta suggests Napoli might have to reduce their asking price to finalize a deal.
Reports indicated Napoli had already lowered Osimhen’s price to €100m from the initial €120m-€130m, yet no offers have emerged.
Some Italian reports suggest Napoli might consider a player-swap deal with Manchester United, involving Mason Greenwood in exchange for Osimhen. United is looking to sell Greenwood, who performed well on loan at Getafe and has attracted interest from several clubs, including Juventus, Lazio, and Napoli.
To secure Osimhen’s transfer to the Premier League, Napoli may need to further adjust their expectations.
