JAKARTA - Napoli can maintain or release striker Victor Osimhen. Club president Aurelio De Rukis stated that negotiations for Osimhen's contract extension are still ongoing.

But it is possible that De Laughis has sold his players to Chelsea, the English Premier League club that wants to bring in the 24-year-old striker.

Chelsea is one of the clubs that wants to bring in Osimhen. Not only the Blues but also Real Madrid who are always looking for alternative players if they fail to recruit Kylian Mbappe.

Not to mention Saudi Arabian clubs that have expressed interest in bringing Osimhen to the Middle East. However, Osimhen has rejected an offer from the Arab club.

De nyakis said that Napoli would still maintain Osimhen even though negotiations for a contract extension still encountered obstacles. According to him, the player's case, which was the target of ridicule on the club's TikTok account, did not affect the negotiations.

Previously, the relationship between the club and Osimhen had heated up. The player once expressed his disappointment with the club's account which actually mocked the players themselves. Because he failed to complete the penalty execution in the Italian Serie A match.

Ironically, the club's official account even made a video mocking Osimnhen. This case had heated up because Osimhen's agent would sue Napoli.

Not only that, Osimhen immediately deleted everything that smelled like Napoli on his Instagram account. The club finally deleted the video. Not only that, the club's social media admin was fired.

Although he made sure it did not affect the process of negotiating the new contract, De Badminton stated that the club could release Osimhen as he did against Kalidou Koulibaly.

"I am not passionate about Osimhen. What is clear is that both parties must be close in making decisions. My attitude does not change. But if his mood changes, there is nothing more to say," said De04s.

"If we agree and shake hands but then there will be changes, this is certainly disappointing. The report card is good and the contract will expire in 2025. So there is still time. But don't forget, I once sold Koulibaly in the last minute," he said.

Osimhen, who led Napoli to the 2003 Scudetto, was injured while defending the Nigerian national team. He will be absent against Verona. The 24-year-old striker doesn't seem to be playing for a month.
