Napoli have officially removed Victor Osimhen from their Serie A squad list, and have also 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.
Victor Osimhen has been formally dropped from Napoli’s Serie A roster. Romelu Lukaku, a recent acquisition, will take Victor Osimhen’s squad number going forward and wear the no. 9 shirt in 2024–25.
Following a hectic transfer deadline day in which he was unable to reach an agreement to join Chelsea or Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia, he was removed from the squad list.
Napoli will be in league action on Saturday evening, August 31, hosting Parma at the Stadio Maradona.
