An agreement has been reached in principle by Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen with his current club Napoli on a contract extension amid interest from top European clubs.
The 24-year-old striker, according to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, will sign a one-year extension to his current deal, taking it to 2026 with a new release clause.
The release clause is expected to be around €130 million which would make him the most expensive player in Italy and one of the most in the world when it’s met.
“Napoli reach an agreement in principle with Victor Osimhen on new contract with release clause included! It will be valid until June 2026, one more year.
“Final value of the clause, TDB — could be around €130m as per Sky. Official announcement expected soon,” Romano wrote on X Wednesday night.
The news comes as a blow to top clubs who were lining up to sign the Nigerian in the winter transfer window.
Chelsea reportedly had a concrete interest in a potential January move in the striker.
