Napoli has made a significant decision regarding their squad for the upcoming Serie A season, announcing the exclusion of Victor Osimhen from their official team list. 
This move indicates that the Nigerian striker is no longer part of the club's plans and is likely to be transferred in the near future.
Osimhen's omission from the squad list follows his absence from Napoli's pre-season friendly against KF Egnatia, fueling speculation about his departure. The 24-year-old has been linked to several top European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, with a reported release clause of £110m. However, a potential move to Chelsea failed to materialize.
Additionally, Osimhen was also rumored to be moving to Saudi Arabia, with Al Ahli emerging as a potential suitor. However, the Saudi Pro League side ultimately signed Ivan Toney instead, leaving Osimhen's future uncertain.
Napoli's management, led by Antonio Conte, seems to be preparing for Osimhen's departure, with Romelu Lukaku emerging as a potential replacement. Furthermore, Napoli has also excluded Mario Rui from their squad list, suggesting that the Portuguese defender is also surplus to requirements.
As Napoli looks to move forward without Osimhen, they will face Parma this weekend, August 31, 2024, at 6:45:00 PM UTC in Serie A. The team will be seeking to build on their previous 3-0 win against Bologna and continue their strong start to the season.
