Osimhen’s new contract will reportedly be worth up to €7 million or €7.5 million as the Partenopei look to tie their top player to a new contract this season.

After sealing an extension for 2022/23 Serie A MVP Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Osimhen’s renewal is the next step in Napoli keeping the best parts of their Scudetto winners together.

Osimhen finished the season as the league’s top scorer with 26 goals in 32 appearances, adding a further five assists to his impressive numbers from the campaign.

The Nigerian striker’s current deal expires in 2025, but with clubs circling for his signature, Napoli are desperate to extend Osimhen’s current deal and keep him as part of the set up for the foreseeable future.
