Osimhen is still rumoured to be leaving Napoli, but it's possible that the much-anticipated move may not take place this summer.
Top European teams and Saudi Arabian sides have all tried signing the Napoli star this summer but have been pushed back by the club's asking price.
Osimhen reconsidering his options
There were rumours over the weekend suggesting that Napoli and PSG were close to agreeing a deal, but new information suggests that the deal is still far from final.
According to French journalist Loic Tanzi on X, “The negotiations for Victor Osimhen have cooled, without it being over, in recent hours because neither Ramos nor Kolo Muani are close to leaving.
“The striker even spoke about staying in Naples, in private. He must have a discussion about this with Conte."
Les négociations pour Victor Osimhen se sont refroidies, sans que ce soit terminé, ces dernières heures car ni Ramos, ni Kolo Muani ne sont proches d’un départ. L’attaquant a même parlé de rester à Naples,en privé. Il doit avoir une discussion à ce sujet avec Conte. https://t.co/8nJxuP2dNi

Osimhen isn't desperate to leave Naples, unlike what some rumours suggest, and he won't pressure Napoli to sell him.
Instead, the attacker for Super Eagles is willing to continue his career at Napoli for another year, working under manager Antonio Conte.
With the PSG deal in cold water, Osimhen will look to discuss remaining at Napoli with Conte and lead the attack for the Italian side next season.
