Furthermore, he handed his squad number over to new signing Romelu Lukaku, who will wear the no.9 shirt for the 2024-25 season.

His removal from the squad list comes after a chaotic transfer deadline day, which saw him fail to agree on a move to either Chelsea or Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia on deadline day.

However, Osimhen remains contracted to Napoli until the summer of 2026 and is on a contract that costs around €10m per season in wages.

In addition to Osimhen, defender Mario Rui has also been removed from the squad list to make room for new signings.
