Napoli manager, Antonio Conte has expressed regret over the club’s failure to sell Victor Osimhen this summer.
The Italian also appeared to confirm he has no plans to reintegrate the Nigeria international in the squad.
Conte spoke about the Osimhen situation after he led his side to a 2-1 win over Parma with Osimhen’s replacement, Romelu Lukaku coming off the bench to score one of the goals.
Osimhen failed to complete his transfer to Chelsea on transfer deadline day on Friday over the Blues failure to meet his salary demand.
With the coming of Lukaku, it means it would be difficult for the Super Eagles striker to find minutes under Conte.
“I’m happy with the work the club did on the market,” Conte said after the game as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
“If there had been the sale of Victor Osimhen, we would have completed the situation… but I’m happy”.
