Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen is reportedly on the brink of solidifying his pivotal role at the club by inking a contract extension.
Ongoing negotiations between Osimhen’s representative, Roberto Calenda, and Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis have persisted for several weeks.
Both sides are eager to formalise a fresh accord, particularly in the wake of Osimhen’s standout performance during Napoli’s victorious Scudetto campaign last season.
Following thorough discussions and thoughtful reflection, Osimhen and Napoli have reached a mutual understanding. This clears the path for the 24-year-old striker to approach the upcoming season with unwavering determination.
Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has indicated that only Osimhen’s signature remains outstanding to seal a new contract that would establish him as the highest-paid player in Napoli’s history.
This distinguished market expert has also revealed the specifics of Osimhen’s imminent contract, shedding light on the remarkable financial terms.
According to the agreement, Osimhen is poised to secure an impressive net salary surpassing €10million per season.
