Recent reports from Italy suggest that Arsenal are still ‘pushing hard’ to sign Victor Osimhen, who now looks almost certain to leave Napoli.
The Italian side played their first competitive game of the season against Modena in the Coppa Italia on Saturday, winning the games on penalties.
And one week before the Serie A begins, Osimhen was nowhere to be seen – excluded from Antonio Conte’s squad.
Following the game, Napoli director Giovanni Manna confirmed that Osimhen had now asked to leave the club – quotes Fabrizio Romano shared on X.
It was recently reported that Arsenal would be willing to pay £63m for Osimhen – a price tag that probably wouldn’t satisfy Napoli’s requests.
But it’s certainly going to be an interesting saga for Arsenal fans to follow, and it now seems fairly clear that Osimhen will not stay in Italy beyond August.
