The Parthenopeans reduce playing staff.

Overall, the Nigeria international has struggled in his first season in Italy in terms of goals, contributing to seven goals (5 goals, 2 assists) in 23 appearances across all competitions.

Several pundits, including the famous transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, have criticized Napoli for spending too much on the signing of the number nine - a club record fee of 70 million euros if performance-related add-ons are not included.

When asked the player that should be shown the exit door if Napoli are downsizing, Tedesco said on 'Il Sogno Nel Cuore', broadcast on 1 Station Radio (via Calcio Napoli) : "Osimhen. He is a promising player and could possibly bring cash into the coffers.

Osimhen has a contract with Napoli until the end of the 2024-2025 season.
