Why Osimhen misses out on Napoli’s Serie A title medal

Super Eagles and Galatasaray goal-scoring machine, Victor Osimhen missed out on Serie A medal despite being a Napoli player.

Napoli clinched the Italian Serie A title by a single point on the final day after defeating Cagliari 2-0 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona with goals coming from Scott McTominay and Matteo Politano.

But while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is eligible for Serie A medal after meeting the appearance criteria before joining PSG in the January transfer window, Osimhen was left out of the medal lists due to zero league appearances this season for Napoli.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray in the January transfer window after his relationship with Napoli deteriorated following failed transfer negotiations.

The win sealed a fourth Italian championship for Napoli, and a record for coach Antonio Conte, who is the first coach to win Serie A with three clubs after earning titles with Inter Milan and Juventus.

After the glory days of Maradona faded, Napoli ended a 23-year wait to win the Scudetto when a team led by Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia marched to glory in 2023.
