Does Napoli need Osimhen?
They no longer need Osimhen because they clearly shown this by striking out Osimhen from their squad for Serie A. Even so, till today Osimhen is still Napoli player and there is no latest news on this player transfer to any big club.
Lukaku is considered the piece to replace Osimhen in the club's attack. Lukaku plays the hero role at Napoli. After coming off the bench, the Belgian striker scored in stoppage time to equalize just days after completing his move from Chelsea. Napoli's thrilling win over Parma gave them six points from three games. Lukaku's goal on his debut for the club also brought many positive signs. At this time, coach Conte can temporarily forget about Osimhen. Most likely in the upcoming matches, Lukaku will start and be the number 1 hope in Napoli's attack.
Lukaku is a good replacement for Osimhen in Napoli and the Belgium striker can provide good number of goals for Napoli in this season. He can create good pressure on opponent defense system and help his team mates to have more space for attacking and opportunities to make shots. I believe Lukaku will be a successful transfer for Napoli, not only in this season, but next some seasons.
Osimhen faces a disastrous summer. This player is now in a situation where "he can neither go nor stay". Napoli has removed the 25-year-old striker from the official squad. For Osimhen, I think the only way out of his current career is to agree to go to Saudi Arabia to play football.
He tried to create pressure on Napoli to be transferred but Napoli want too much money from the striker transfer and no club comes to a final agreement on transfer fee with Napoli so far. It's very last hours for Napoli and Osimhen as well as a club partner to complete the transfer before the summer transfer market will close in coming hours.
