Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen will play his last game today when the Italian side faces, Lecce, at the Stadio Maradona.

The Super Eagles forward has been on Manchester United, Chelsea, and PSG's radar while Napoli is monitoring Real Madrid-owned defender Rafa Marin, reports Il Corriere dello Sport.

Osimhen who recently renewed his contract has €130m clause included in his contract with the Partenopei.

The 26-year-old has struggled with his form despite playing an instrumental role in his side's Scudetto victory last season.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Lille and Canada striker Jonathan David is Napoli’s leading candidate to replace Osimhen, followed by Girona’s Artem Dovbyk. Romelu Lukaku has also been linked with a move to Napoli as Chelsea could include the Belgian in a swap deal for Osimhen.

Napoli will also get reinforcement in defense, something they could have done last season after selling Kim to Bayern Munich.
