Napoli head coach Antonio Conte has expressed his disappointment over the club's inability to sell Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen during the summer transfer window.  Speaking after Napoli's 2-1 victory over Parma, in which Romelu Lukaku—Osimhen's potential replacement—scored off the bench, Conte hinted that Osimhen's future at the club might be limited.

His deal with Saudi Arabian club, Al Hilal, also fell off.
