This proclamation not only celebrates the Nigerian forward’s continued association with the club but also solidifies Napoli’s commitment to retaining a player who has become a linchpin in their attacking lineup.
Osimhen’s prowess in front of goal has been instrumental in Napoli’s recent successes, and this contract extension marks a strategic move by the club to secure his services for the foreseeable future.
The announcement is sure to be welcomed by Napoli supporters, who can now look forward to witnessing Osimhen’s continued contributions on the pitch as the club strives for further triumphs in domestic and international competitions.
Earlier, it was reported that several top clubs are eyeing the Nigerian superstar, who is reportedly the highest-paid African player in the world. There is a clause in the new agreement between him and the club that allows him to be released to non-Italian clubs no earlier than summer 2024 for a fee of €120 million. According to Transfermarkt, his estimated market value is now €110 million. It seems that the new deal will guarantee Napoli the striker’s services only until next summer.
