Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has officially signed his new contract with Italian champions that will see him be at the club until June 2026, announced President Aurelio De Laurentiis.
President Aurelio De Laurentiis who already hinted at the deal last night when telling TG1 it could be ‘the surprise gift under the Christmas Tree’ for his fans, made the announcement.
As is tradition at Napoli, De Laurentiis took control of the announcement himself, posting the images of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen signing the paperwork with only one word: ‘Done!’
According to reports by Fabrizio Romano, Osimhen will increase his salary to €10m per season after tax.
There will also be the inclusion of a release clause, believed to be set at €120-130m, valid only for clubs outside of Italy during the summer.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are unlikely to be put off by that kind of asking price.
Napoli paid €75m plus bonuses to sign Osimhen from Lille in September 2020 and he helped them win the Scudetto, becoming the first-ever African Capocannoniere of Serie A and African Player of the Year.
