Napoli is currently finalizing the details of a contract extension for Victor Osimhen, according to the club’s sporting director, Mauro Meluso. Although Osimhen’s existing contract runs until 2025, the Nigerian striker is reportedly prepared to extend it by an additional year. The new deal is expected to include a release clause ranging from €130-140 million.
Meluso emphasized that Napoli prefers a discreet approach to negotiations and will make an official announcement once everything is finalized. He stated, ‘We are accustomed to working behind the scenes and without big announcements before things are done. It will obviously be up to President Aurelio De Laurentiis to give the news.’
The negotiation process has been lengthy, but both parties are keen to reach an agreement. Meluso mentioned, ‘It has been a long negotiation process, and we hope to conclude it, but only make announcements when everything is sealed. Both parties are eager to get this deal closed, and we’ll see what happens over the next few weeks.’
Victor Osimhen has been in fine form this season, contributing seven goals in 12 league appearances for Napoli. The club anticipates providing updates on the contract renewal in the coming weeks.”
