Victor Osimhen's future at Napoli hangs in the balance as the striker continues to battle with fitness issues ahead of their final game of the season.
The 25-year-old missed training on Monday, May 20, still nursing an injury sustained in a Serie A clash against Bologna two weeks ago.
His absence resulted in him missing Napoli's recent Serie A fixture against Fiorentina, and his participation in their last match against Lecce remains uncertain.
Amidst speculation about a potential summer transfer, it seems Osimhen may have already played his final game for Napoli.
Reports suggest a move to the Premier League could be in the offing for the reigning African Footballer of the Year.
Additionally, there are rumors linking him with a return to the French Ligue 1, with Paris Saint-Germain considering him as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe.
However, Osimhen's fitness concerns also cast doubt on his availability for Nigeria's FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic next month.
