Napoli head coach Antonio Conte has provided the latest update on Victor Osimhen’s future with the Nigerian striker, who is still expected to leave the Italian club this summer.

Osimhen extended his contract with the club last summer after helping the Neapolitans win their first Italian Serie A since the Diego Maradona-inspired title reign in 1990.

According to ESPN, the club inserted a release clause of £113 million in the new deal, with a gentleman's agreement that he could leave if any club met that valuation.

Conte’s update on Osimhen's future

The striker resumed pre-season training under new boss Conte on Tuesday after the manager confirmed he had been informed by the club he could leave this summer.

Conte has issued a fresh update on the player's future, which hinted that he could remain at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona next season and work with the former Chelsea boss.

“I spoke to Victor, and there are no changes in his situation. He’s a top player. He’s a Napoli player today, so he needs to work hard, even if we have an agreement [for his potential exit], and still, we don’t know the outcome of this story,” he said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.

Multiple reports in Italy claim that the striker is already rethinking his future, and if an offer does not arrive, he is ready to play at the club.
