Reactions have trailed Victor Osimhen’s failed transfer saga it finally came to an end following the close of the 2024 summer transfer window, with the Nigerian striker deciding to stay at Napoli despite interest from Chelsea and Al-Ahli.
Osimhen had been linked with a move away from Napoli all summer, but a late approach from Chelsea and Al-Ahli was not enough to persuade him to leave which also sparked reactions from fans both home and abroad.
Osimhen’s decision to stay at Napoli was against the expectation of a lot of football fans especially after Romelu Lukaku joined the former Serie A Champions. The Nigerian striker had been pushing for a transfer away from Napoli, but the club’s refusal to agree on transfer fees with either Chelsea or Al-Ahli led to the collapse of the deal.
Despite the turmoil, Osimhen has decided to stay at Napoli, where he will compete with Lukaku for a place in the starting lineup. The striker’s decision to stay will see him work under new manager Antonio Conte, who had already made it clear that he was not ready to work with Osimhen.
