Napoli Includes Osimhen In Pre-Season Plan

Napoli have included Victor Osimhen in their squad that will begin the pre-season in mid-July, despite his imminent move away from the club.

Napoli’s pre-season is expected to begin on July 14, and the Nigerian striker is expected to rejoin his parent club’s teammates for the start of preparation for the new season.

Osimhen, who has been on holiday in Nigeria had returned from a loan spell at Galatasaray, where he scored 37 goals plus eight assists in 41 games across all competitions.

The 26-year-old helped the Turkish giants to a domestic double, winning the Super Lig and the Turkish Cup.

While his next destination is still unknown, Osimhen has already rejected a €40m-a-year offer from Saudi club Al Hilal.

According to Football Italia, the Saudi Pro League side haven’t yet given up on the Partenopei ace, but if they fail to reach an agreement with the striker by mid-July, Osimhen will be formally called up to start the pre-season with the rest of the team.
