Osimhen at Napoli
The Super Eagles of Nigeria star has already put pen to paper on a contract extension with Napoli through June 2026, which includes a €130 million release clause.

Osimhen’s new deal has not stopped rumours around his future at the club, with the latest coming from agent of his teammate, Kvaratskhelia.
"Victor signed a new contract, but do you really think he will spend his entire career at Napoli?" declared Jugeli, per a Pulse Sports post on X via Fabrizio Romano
"I can already tell you he will go to Saudi Arabia next summer," he added.

However, in a swift reaction, the 25-year-old has come out to defend himself, furiously lashing out at Jugeli.
The African Player of the Year took to his social media page to blast Khvicha’s agent, telling him to get his name out of his mouth.
"Dear Mamuka Jugeli, you are a piece of filth and a disgrace, I'm embarrassed at your sense of reasoning," raged Osimhen on his Instagram stories.
"Dump f*ck, keep my name out of your mouth," the Napoli icon added.
The Napoli man is currently on international duty with Nigeria, preparing to lead the Super Eagles to battle at the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON2023, in Ivory Coast.
