Striker Victor Osimhen is poised to commit his future to Napoli as negotiations for a contract renewal reach a successful conclusion.
The crucial meeting between Napoli’s President, Aurelio De Laurentiis, and the player’s agent, Roberto Calenda, paved the way for this decision.
This consensus, reached during talks in Madrid last week, is pending finalization of certain details before an official announcement can be made.
The focus now shifts to determining the salary structure and, more significantly, the allocation for the release clause, allowing the Nigerian striker the possibility to depart Naples at the conclusion of the season.
The proposed contract extension spans an additional three seasons, providing Napoli with the leverage to set a release clause exceeding 100 million euros. This strategic move aims to secure a substantial capital gain for the club.
In the midst of these developments, Arsenal has emerged as a frontrunner in negotiations with Osimhen’s representatives, taking the lead over Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid, initially in the race, has temporarily retreated from the pursuit.
