Super Eagles star player Victor Osimhen and Serie, A club side Napoli are currently discussing a contract extension for the Nigerian. The club is also planning on adding a release clause to its new contract.
Victor Osimhen and Napoli in Talks for Contract Extension
The Nigeria international signed a contract until 2024 worth €4.5M per season when he joined the top Serie A side from Ligue 1 champions Lille last summer. According to reports, the Partenopei are determined to extend the forward’s contract whilst also inserting a release clause.
Victor Osimhen scored a total of 10 goals in 24 league appearances for Napoli in the 2020/21 season under the supervision of Gennaro Gattuso, who was sacked at the end of the season. The 22-year-old missed over two months of action due to an injury he sustained while on international duty with Nigeria.
Upon recovering from the injury, he tested positive for coronavirus in Nigeria and was placed on self-isolation for two weeks. Together with his shoulder injury, the positive test kept him away from the action until his return to the side on 29 January 2021.
