Osimhen Banished from Napoli First Team — Set to Train with Youth Squad 🚨
Victor Osimhen “Banished” from Napoli First Team
🇳🇬 Victor Osimhen, fresh from an incredible loan spell at Galatasaray (⚽️ 37 goals, 🅰️ 6 assists, 🏆 league + cup double), has been ordered to return to Napoli for pre-season.
🗓️ He’s expected at training camp July 14–15, barring a transfer.
❌ Conte Freezes Him Out
🧠 New Napoli coach Antonio Conte has excluded Osimhen from his tactical plans.
He won’t take part in first-team training or matches.
Instead, he’ll train for fitness only, with the youth team — not even involved in drills or formations.
Napoli will train in Dimaro (July 17–27) and Castel di Sangro (July 30–August 14).
💰 Transfer Update
So far, only Al Hilal has activated his €75M release clause — but Osimhen rejected their offer (likely due to personal or career goals).
No official bids from Premier League or European giants yet — although Arsenal, Chelsea, and PSG have all been linked at various points.
🧊 What’s Really Happening?
This move to sideline Osimhen seems like:
- Pressure from Napoli to force a move.
- A sign that Conte wants a clean slate and doesn’t want “unsettled stars” disrupting camp.
- Possibly related to contract fallout or previous social media incidents between Osimhen and the club.
🗣️ Fan Reactions (Online)
Many Nigerian fans feel Osimhen deserves more respect, especially after everything he did for Napoli — including winning the 2022–23 Scudetto.
Others say he should just leave and secure a move, as staying will only hurt his momentum and morale.
