Osimhen is expected to leave the club this summer, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain keen on the player.

Antonio Conte has decided not to use the Nigerian as he awaits the arrival of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.

Conte was forced to take off star midfielder Khvicha Kvaratskhelia after he collided with an opposing player before halftime.

Napoli’s problems continued after the break when Dailon Livramento slotted in a cross from close range to give the hosts the lead.

In the 75th minute, Daniel Mosquera received a through ball and calmly slotted it home to double Verona’s lead.

In stoppage time, Verona scored a third goal as Napoli’s defence faltered, allowing Mosquera to tap in a close-range pass and complete his brace.
