He wondered the pitch on his own
Osimhen, 24, was captured taking in the Bernabeu stadium all on his own, joined by none of his team-mates.
And Spanish reports suggest the Nigerian’s agent, Roberto Calenda, has jetted in too for transfer talks with Los Blancos after the game.
And that would come a huge blow to suitors Chelsea.
Osimhen scored 26 goals in 32 matches last season to help Napoli to the Serie A title.
But his relationship with the Italian champion has soured in the last few months – including with manager Rudi Garcia.
Then the club mocking him on social media just added to the uncertainty over his future.
Still Osimhen has six goals in 11 matches this season but he nine games with a hamstring injury.
He returned in Napoli’s 2-1 win over Atalanta but did so strongly linked with a move to Chelsea in the winter window.

Osimhen is believed to be the Blues’ top target as they struggle for goals.
Liverpool and Arsenal are also among those linked but Chelsea could be preparing for a bid when the market opens in January.
But Osimhen could demand as much as £120m for the attacker, which would be a Premier League record fee.
Chelsea have already spent £1billion since Boehly took over in May 2022.
