Napoli to pay Osimhen €7m and include €100-120m release clause in new contract

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen's representatives and management of the club are making progress as regards a new deal.

 Reports in Italy suggest that  Osimhen is edging close to signing a new contract with Napoli, which could include a release clause.

The 24-year-old Nigerian striker is one of the hottest topics in the summer transfer window following his incredible season in Campania.

Osimhen played a crucial role in Napoli’s Scudetto success, scoring 26 goals in 32 league games, and his work attracted the attention of multiple clubs like Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports details of how Napoli are pushing to tie down Osimhen to a new long-term contract, extending his stay in the Campania capital from 2025 to 2027.

The Nigerian would be given a significant raise, from €4.5m net to €7m net per season, and a release clause could be included in his contract – worth around €100-120m.

Bayern Munich have seemingly moved away from Osimhen, instead focusing their efforts on Tottenham’s Harry Kane, but PSG could reignite their interest should Kylian Mbappe be sold.
