Aurelio De Laurentiis, the President of Napoli, has unveiled plans for the imminent signing of a new contract for Victor Osimhen, effectively addressing ongoing rumors linking the Nigerian striker to Chelsea.
Despite swirling speculations surrounding Osimhen’s potential move to Chelsea, De Laurentiis firmly stated, “With Osimhen, we are about to sign the contract that was pending this summer.” This declaration comes as a decisive move by Napoli to secure the services of the coveted forward.
Osimhen, a prominent figure in the football transfer market, has attracted interest from various clubs, notably Chelsea in recent times. However, De Laurentiis’ announcement suggests a steadfast commitment from Napoli’s end to retain the services of the talented striker.
The current contractual arrangement for Osimhen extends until 2025, and negotiations for an extension indicate a desire for continuity and stability within the club’s ranks.
The disclosure by De Laurentiis is anticipated to quell the transfer speculations swirling around Osimhen, affirming Napoli’s firm stance in retaining their valuable asset amid external interest.
As talks progress towards finalization, the Napoli faithful eagerly await the official confirmation of Osimhen’s contract renewal, a move that could cement his future at the Serie A club and dismiss the persistent transfer chatter linking him to Chelsea.
