Osimhen's Napoli exit looms as club considers lowering €130m price tag

Napoli are reportedly ready to lower their asking price for Nigeria's Victor Osimhen to facilitate his move from the club.

The 25-year-old's potential move away from the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium has stalled as his suitors are not willing to meet his asking price of €130 million.

Italian publication Calciomercato reports that the Naples-based club are ready to lower their valuation for the Super Eagles striker.

The rationale behind this move as per the report is to make some money available for the club to fund the transfer of their summer signings by Antonio Conte.

The former Tottenham Hotspurs boss is reportedly eyeing a move for Romelu Lukaku as potential replacement for Osimhen should the Nigerian international leave.

This comes as good news for Osimhen's suitors who cooled off their interest in the reigning African Footballer of the Year due to monstrous release clause.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain will all have to rethink their decision to back off from securing a move for the former Lille striker.
