Napoli's Sporting Director, Giovanni Manna, has addressed the situation surrounding Victor Osimhen's desire to leave the club, stating that the Nigerian striker's situation is "blocked." 
Osimhen has expressed his intention to depart Napoli this summer, with Chelsea, Arsenal, and PSG rumored to be interested in his services. However, none of these clubs have met his price tag, leaving the player's future uncertain.
In an interview with Sky Sport Italia, Manna acknowledged the coach's assessment of the situation, saying, "It's an objective fact, what the coach said, the situation is blocked. Victor is an important player, with an important value and conditions." He emphasized that Osimhen's desire to leave is clear, but the club is working to maintain the integrity of the squad.
When asked if Napoli had a sense of which club Osimhen was leaning towards, Manna replied, "At this time, it is not right to say what sensations there are. We are working with his entourage to find the best solution. As we said, he is an important player, so it's not that we can just find him anywhere."
Manna also highlighted that Osimhen is under contract for another two seasons, and if no club meets the required fee by the end of the transfer window, they will need to have a conversation with the player. "He is under contract for another two seasons, so clearly if we don't find a solution by August 30, we'll have to talk to the player," he stated.
