Osimhen's transfer take new twist as Conte demands talks with Napoli striker

New Napoli boss Antonio Conte has requested a crunch meeting with star striker Victor Osimhen, amidst intense speculation about the Nigerian's future.

Despite signing a new deal last December, Osimhen has been linked with a summer exit, with Premier League giants Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal reportedly keen on his services.

The reigning African Footballer of the Year has also been tipped to replace Kylian Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain, but his €130m release clause has proven a significant obstacle.

With no club willing to meet the fee, Arsenal and Chelsea have turned their attention to alternative targets.

Conte, determined to keep Osimhen at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, is set to hold talks with the 25-year-old in a bid to convince him to stay.

Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille in 2020 and has since become a key player for the club. The meeting could be a pivotal moment in Osimhen's Napoli career, as Conte looks to persuade him to remain a part of his plans for the upcoming season.
