During his first press conference as Napoli’s coach on Wednesday evening, Conte acknowledged Osimhen’s talent but clarified that he would not engage in transfer discussions regarding the player.
“As far as Osimhen is concerned, just as I knew very well about the situation of Kvara, Di Lorenzo, Anguissa, Lobotka, on whom I had an absolute veto, I know very well about the Osimhen situation. I know that there are agreements with the club; it’s a different situation, which I’ll witness.
” Then if you ask me about the player, he’s a top player, but I can’t get into any discussions about Osimhen because these are previous agreements,” Conte stated.
