Victor Osimhen: Five possible destinations for Napoli exile

Victor Osimhen’s future is up in the air as he has been exiled from the Napoli squad by Antonio Conte.

Antonio Conte said “NO player will be reintegrated,” according to Fabrizio Romano, which means that there is no way back for Osimhen at Napoli, and an transfer will be necessary.

However, with the majority of the major European Leagues now shut, destinations are becoming more limited for the Nigerian hitman than they were all summer.

With all things considered, what are Osimhen’s possible destinations for a transfer exit from Naples this summer? Here are five of the top options:

1. Saudi Arabia

One of Osimhen’s major destinations was rumoured to be Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League, however the Nigerian’s desire to play in Europe and haggling over contract terms meant the Saudi club moved on to Ivan Toney.

However the Saudi transfer deadline is still open for another 24 hours, closing on September 2. This means the possibility for him to move to another Pro League club is still open.

Al-Ettifaq and Al-Ittihad are two of the bigger clubs with obvious openings for a striker. Al-Ittihad, in particular, with Laurent Blanc as coach, could form a devastating strike partnership between Osimhen and Karim Benzema.

2. Qatar

While not as flush with cash as their gulf neighbours, the Qatar Stars League transfer window is open until September 9 and still could be a possible destination for Osimhen. The quality is lower but a short-term stay in the UAE absolutely hammering the goals in could be a nice break for the Nigerian hitman.

3. Mexico

Liga MX in Mexico isn’t necessarily the biggest league in the world, but it would be a fantastic place to live. And moreover the proximity to the lucrative USA media market could make a stay in Mexico quite profitable for Osimhen’s image.

Imagine Osimhen firing Chivas to win the title for the first time since 2017? Or joining Pumas UNAM and ending their decade-plus long title drought?

4. Turkey

Every signing in Turkey’s Super Lig is greeted like the biggest signing in the universe. However, Victor Osimhen joining would actually be a seismic signing that could transform almost any of the top clubs into instant title contenders.

Victor Osimhen joining José Mourinho at Fenerbahce, in particular, would be absolutely tremendous entertainment. And if anyone could convince Osimhen to head to Turkey (whose window stays open until September 13) it’d be the silver tongued former Chelsea manager.

5. Chelsea or PSG (or any top 5 league) in 2025

Speaking of Chelsea, don’t rule out the possibility of the Blues heading back in for Victor Osimhen in 2025 when the January transfer window opens.

Paris Saint-Germain, another top 5 league side linked with Osimhen, could also be back in for Osimhen. It all depends how their Champions League and Ligue 1 campaign is going with Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos as their strikers.
