WHAT IS THE OSIMHEN CRISIS IN NAPOLI?
Victor Osimhen wanted to transfer to Paris Saint-Germain throughout the summer transfer period, but the clubs could not agree. Later, Chelsea reached an agreement with Napoli for Osimhen's transfer, but this time the Nigerian player refused to go to Chelsea. Al-Ahli, one of Saudi Arabia's important clubs, which is open during the transfer period, could not reach a common ground with Napoli. After all these developments, Napoli's Technical Director Antonio Conte transferred Lukaku, whom he had previously worked with at Chelsea and Inter, and excluded Osimhen from the squad. Osimhen, who has a net annual salary of 11 million euros, caused a crisis in Napoli.
