Napoli head coach Antonio Conte said Victor Osimhen will not be reintroduced to Napoli squad after his failed transfer this summer.

The 25-year had the saddest transfer window of his whole career as he was linked with moves to PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal and lastky Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League but all of the deals felt through and Napoli have decided he will not reintroduce the team since he asked to leave the club.

“Some issues blocked it; perhaps if we had unlocked that [Osimhen] situation, we would have completed the team differently and earlier,” Conte said after his side’s 2-1 over Parma.

“The club made an effort, and I must be happy with it.

“I’m sorry about what happened. I’m sorry for Osimhen. I’m sorry for the club that didn’t monetize. I am sorry for myself because we didn’t complete the team as we wanted, but the club proved to be consistent in this situation,” continued Conte.

“Coherence is the starting point when it comes to respecting the rules. The club proved consistent, so I praise them for this attitude.

“No, this is the team. This is the group,” he replied when asked if he plans to reintroduce the players who are out of the team due to transfer situations.
