Also haunting Napoli is the situation of Victor Osimhen, which is also blocked: "Victor has important parameters, è clear his willà – Manna words to Dazn -.

We are working with his entourage and looking for the best solution. He is not è a player to fix because heé has important parameters. Chances è that he will stay? He has two years on his contract. If a solution is not found by August 30, we will have to talk to the boy. We are also not happy with this situation, we wanted to arrive more complete, we did not succeed for many reasons, including the situation we talked about. We are working to build a squad of level".
