However, the combative forward now appears poised to see his name headline another transfer window following recent reports regarding his future.
According to a newly surfaced report from Fichajes, the Nigerian forward could be set for a transfer to the Saudi Professional League in January.
Osimhen set for Saudi transfer
According to the report from the media outlet, Napoli are looking to offload the forward in the winter transfer market.
The report highlights that the Italian Serie A outfit is still seeking a huge transfer fee for the forward, making a move to the Saudi league the only plausible option.
Osimhen is currently linked with a transfer to Chelsea, and the team’s coach, Enzo Maresca, has not ruled out a transfer for the forward.
It remains to be seen what will become of the talismanic forward's future, but one can understand the substantial price tag Napoli has set on him, especially considering that, according to data from Fotmob, Osimhen has so far been involved in six goals in his six appearances for Galatasaray since his transfer.
