Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly inked a contract extension with Napoli, securing his allegiance to the Serie A champions until 2026. The £112 million-rated forward, a persistent target for English clubs Arsenal and Chelsea, has opted to prolong his tenure with Napoli after their triumphant 2022-23 Serie A campaign.

While initially contracted until 2025, the new deal, as reported by Sky Sports Italy, signifies Osimhen’s commitment to Napoli, cementing his pivotal role in the squad.

The extended contract reportedly incorporates a release clause ranging between €120-130 million (£104m-£113m), affirming the club’s intention to retain their coveted striker.

Osimhen, 24, made his move to Napoli in 2020, and his impact has been significant.

The Nigerian international has amassed 95 appearances for the club, notably spearheading their charge to clinch the Italian Serie A championship last season.

The contract extension marks a pivotal development for Napoli, fortifying their squad as they navigate domestic and European competitions.

Osimhen’s prowess as a goal scorer and his integral role in Napoli’s recent success make him a prized asset for the club.

Despite persistent interest from Premier League giants, Osimhen’s decision to extend his contract underscores his dedication to Napoli’s ambitions.

The reported release clause reflects the player’s market value, presenting a substantial figure for any potential suitors.

As Osimhen continues to be a subject of admiration from elite clubs in England, Napoli fans will welcome this contract extension as a testament to the club’s ability to retain top talent and compete at the highest levels of European football.
