There\u2019s no negotiation with Napoli as there\u2019s a release clause, so it\u2019s about paying that money and reaching an agreement with Osimhen. At the moment no club is close to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Romano emphasised that while interest from multiple clubs has persisted for months, no significant developments have occurred in the ongoing saga.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that Napoli has resigned themselves to the likelihood of losing the Nigerian international in the summer, with Osimhen\u2019s departure seemingly contingent on a club triggering his release clause.<\/p>\n<p>Osimhen, who has netted 13 goals across all competitions for Napoli this season, remains a highly coveted talent in the transfer market, with his future likely to be a subject of intense speculation until a concrete deal is reached.<\/p>\n<h5>READ ALSO:\u00a0Pau Cubarsi: Know more about Barcelona youngster making waves after 2023 CAF Player of the Year shutdown in Champions League clash on Tuesday.<\/h5>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsration.com\/fabrizio-romano-shares-update-on-victor-osimhen-potential-summer-transfer-status\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has refuted claims suggesting that Arsenal have overtaken Chelsea in the race to sign Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen, according to reports.
