)
According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Osimhen is set to sign a four-year contract extension with an option for a further year that will see him remain with Napoli until 2027.
The Super Eagles striker will reportedly earn between €7m-€7.5m, a significant increase from the €4.5m he currently earns in Naples.
Napoli keen to tie down Osimhen
The Nigerian forward enjoyed a marvellous 2022/23 season with Napoli, scoring 31 goals in all competitions, including an African-best 26 Serie A goals to propel the Partenopei to their first Serie A title in 33 years.
Osimhen’s superb performances lead to speculation over his future after teams including Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea reportedly became interested in his services, forcing Napoli to make efforts to secure their prized asset on a longer contract.
With Osimhen’s new deal, Napoli should be able to keep Osimhen at the club for an extended period or at least gain a strong hand in negotiations when clubs come for him in the future.
Despite a €180 million price tag, Napoli know that it will be an uphill battle to keep Osimhen if they allow his contract to run down any further after this summer and will be keen on him agreeing to their four-year contract proposal.
