Napoli manager Antonio Conte is getting ready for the new season and preparing for life without star man Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen is still expected to leave Napoli this summer, especially after Antonio Conte's recent comments implying the Nigerian has a pact with the club.
Conte will be in the dugout next season, and he has already been linked with several players to replace the outgoing Osimhen.

Conte excited for Lukaku to replace Osimhen
Lukaku, who spent the 2023–24 season on loan at AS Roma, has been heavily linked to Napoli which would mean a re-union after both men won the Scudetto at Inter Milan.
The ex-Manchester United striker would represent a cheap replacement for Osimhen and one that Conte knows well.
According to The Standard, Chelsea are willing to sell Lukaku for a fee of £38 million this summer.
Speaking about a potential reunion with Lukaku, Conte said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano,
“He’s an excellent player, top player. There’s nothing else to say. You always hope to have a player like Romelu on your side and not against you.”
