Victor Osimhen is only a step away from signing his new Napoli contract, ready to become the highest paid player in the club’s history.
The Nigerian star and his agent Roberto Calenda have been negotiating a new deal with Partenopei president Aurelio De Laurentiis for weeks now, keen to set up a new agreement following last season’s Scudetto success.
After much back and forth, an agreement has now been reached between Osimhen and Napoli, allowing the 24-year-old to start the new season with his mind fully focused on the football. Only his signature is needed to finalise proceedings.
Gianluca Di Marzio details how Osimhen will earn over €10m net per season in his new Napoli deal, which’ll extend his stay to June 2026.
Only one release clause will be included, worth €150m, and it will not be valid for Italy for the first year.
This agreement suits all parties; De Laurentiis ensures that Osimhen will stay in the Campania capital for another season at least and would command a high fee should a European giant arrive next summer.
For Osimhen, a hefty raise and a clear out when clubs come calling.
