In a significant development for Napoli and their fans, President Aurelio de Laurentiis has officially disclosed that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is on the verge of signing a contract extension with the Serie A champions. With just one year remaining on his existing contract, the decision to secure Osimhen’s commitment reflects Napoli’s strategic move to cement the presence of the prolific striker within their ranks.
The imminent contract extension is anticipated to be a one-year deal, accompanied by a release clause in the range of 130-140 million euros.
President De Laurentiis expressed optimism regarding the progress of the negotiations, stating, “I’ve said it and I’ll say it again, we’re getting closer to the finish line,” in an interview with CorSport.
Osimhen, the 24-year-old Nigerian international, has showcased his goal-scoring prowess this season, finding the net seven times in 14 league appearances for Napoli.
His impactful contributions on the field have solidified his position as a key asset for the Partenopei, prompting the club’s leadership to proactively pursue a contract extension to secure his services for the foreseeable future.
As negotiations reach the final stages, Napoli supporters eagerly await official confirmation of Osimhen’s renewed commitment to the club.
The anticipated extension not only underscores Napoli’s commitment to retaining top-tier talent but also positions Osimhen as a linchpin in the club’s ambitions for continued success in Serie A and beyond.
