Victor Osimhen’s future at Napoli is uncertain following the arrival of Romelu Lukaku on a three-year deal. Osimhen, who has been linked with a move away from the Diego Maradona Stadium, may face competition for the central striker position.
Lukaku’s signing could pose a risk to Osimhen’s playing time, as new Napoli manager Antonio Conte has a history of favoring the Belgian forward as his main striker. Conte’s tactics often revolve around Lukaku’s physical presence and goal-scoring ability, which could lead to Osimhen being sidelined or shifted to a different role.
However, Osimhen’s impressive performances and status as a fan favorite may still see him retain a key role in the team. Napoli could potentially adopt a tactical adjustment that accommodates both strikers, enhancing their attacking options.
