Victor Osimhen Resumes Full Training with Napoli Amid Transfer Speculation

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has returned to full training with Napoli, intensifying speculation about his future.

On Friday, Osimhen participated in both morning and afternoon sessions at the club’s training ground, signalling a potential return for Napoli’s upcoming match against Girona.

Despite ongoing transfer rumours linking Osimhen to Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli remains committed to planning for the new season with him in the squad.

However, discussions with both clubs are still ongoing, and no final agreements have been made.

Napoli’s director, Giovanni Manna, has expressed optimism about retaining Osimhen, but speculation persists, partly fueled by manager Antonio Conte’s apparent disinterest in the striker.

Osimhen, who has previously indicated a desire to leave Napoli, missed the club’s recent pre-season friendlies but made a notable return to training on Friday.

During the double training session at Castel di Sangro, Osimhen received applause from fans for his performance in the morning session and scored in the afternoon’s practice match.

As reported by Area Napoli, this strong showing suggests he may be included in the squad for tomorrow’s friendly against Girona.

Osimhen’s dedication to Napoli, despite the transfer speculation, is evident in his full participation in training. As the transfer window progresses, football fans will closely monitor this high-profile saga.

With Chelsea and PSG both interested in the prolific forward, Osimhen’s commitment to Napoli will be crucial as the 2022/23 Italian champions prepare for the 2024/2025 season under Conte.
