Napoli remains optimistic about securing a new contract with star striker Victor Osimhen before the season concludes. President Aurelio De Laurentiis held multiple meetings with the player’s agent, Roberto Calenda, during their recent visit to Naples. Walter Mazzarri, the new coach, conducted his initial training sessions, with positive interactions reported between Osimhen and Mazzarri.
Despite Osimhen’s current contract running until the summer of 2025, Napoli is keen on securing a renewal before the end of this season to avoid entering the final year of the contract in 2024/25.
A host of the World’s most elite and most wealthy clubs are thought to be circling in the event that Osimhen does enter the final year of his contract this summer.
Osimhen’s agent was in Naples again on Thursday and Friday, certainly not for the first time in recent months, and it is believed that a renewal would have been the most important topic of conversation with those he spoke to.
Osimhen, meanwhile, resumed training for the first time in several weeks, having picked up an injury while away on international duty with Nigeria in October.
Napoli players have been granted the weekend off by new coach Mazzarri and will take to the pitch again on Monday.
