The Parthenopeans reduce playing staff.
Overall, the Nigeria international has struggled in his first season in Italy in terms of goals, contributing to seven goals (5 goals, 2 assists) in 23 appearances across all competitions.
The goal involvement has not been frequent, with four coming in his last seven matches in the Serie A and three in his first sixteen.
Several pundits, including the famous transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, have criticized Napoli for spending too much on the signing of the number nine - a club record fee of 70 million euros if performance-related add-ons are not included.
When asked the player that should be shown the exit door if Napoli are downsizing, Tedesco said on 'Il Sogno Nel Cuore', broadcast on 1 Station Radio (via Calcio Napoli) : "Osimhen. He is a promising player and could possibly bring cash into the coffers.
"I am convinced that Gattuso's team will reach the Europe that matters, the matches are difficult for everyone and the Azzurri are there."
Osimhen has a contract with Napoli until the end of the 2024-2025 season.
