Super Eagles: Why Peseiro must trust Boniface, not Osimhen, against Sao Tome
Victor Osimhen is Nigeria’s best centre-forward, but is there a case to be made to play Victor Boniface instead against Sao Tome and Principe on Sunday?
According to Calciomercato, the club and player have agreed to a salary structure on the new contract but are yet to decide on an appropriate release clause for the forward in the new deal, which has held up the signing of the contract.

The Italian outlet also claims that Napoli have now given Osimhen until January 2024 to agree to a new contract before taking the deal off the table.
Osimhen has also confirmed his intention to stay at Napoli and has begun the new season with three goals in three games, but will also have thoughts of a move away from the club on his mind as contract talks drag on.
