Italian football manager Antonio Conte has commented on the future of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen who is seeking a move away from Serie A side Napoli.
Conte, who is eager to have a one-on-one meeting with Osimhen said that he is aware that there is an agreement between the player and Napoli regarding his future.
The coach noted that there is a pact between Victor and Napoli on his future and he accepts that and that in a way makes the striker’s case different compared to other players.
“I’m aware of his situation, I know there’s an agreement with the club so it’s a different case compared to others”.
“There’s a pact between Victor and Napoli on his future and I accepted that”.

‘‘Osimhen, expected to leave this summer,’’ Conte said per a post shared on the X page of Fabrizio Romano.
Conte’s comments come after Napoli lowered the asking price for Osimhen which was initially set at €130 million (£110.8 million) by club President Aurelio de Laurentiis.
The former Serie A champions may now be willing to drop that initial assessment to €100M, according to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, via Football Italia.
This is to free up much-needed transfer cash for new manager Antonio Conte who seeks to restore the pride of the Italian side that won the Scudetto two seasons ago.
