Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is set to return to Napoli for pre-season despite his future undecided.

Osimhen has been the subject of transfer speculations in recent months, with the Napoli striker looking to leave this summer.

The 2023 African Best Player is currently on summer vacation in Nigeria and is yet to decide on his future and his next destination.

However, with his destination unknown, he is set to return to Napoli for pre-season training pending his next transfer.

On July 11, the Partenopeans return to camp at their Dimaro-Folgarida training area, and Osimhen is expected to be with the team.

The Super Eagles star has been Napoli's talisman for the past two years and was essential to their march to victory in the Serie A title two seasons ago.

Despite Napoli's dismal performance last season, the Nigerian netted 17 goals in 32 appearances and in 133 games with Napoli, Osimhen has scored 76 goals and provided 18 assists.

Osimhen appears to be planning to leave Naples this summer, but no specific news has been released yet. 

Although Napoli has not yet accepted an offer, PSG, Arsenal, and Al Ahli appear to be the most likely destinations.

Numerous top clubs have expressed interest in signing him due to his performances; he is rumoured to be joining PSG, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
