Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen signs new Napoli contract

It’s great news for Napoli fans and Victor Osimhen himself! The extension of his contract until June 2026 shows the club’s confidence in his abilities. The reported increase in salary to €10 million per season after tax reflects his contributions and success with Napoli.

The inclusion of a release clause, set at €120-130 million for clubs outside of Italy during the summer, is a common practice in football contracts. This clause provides a predetermined amount at which other clubs can acquire the player, offering transparency and clarity in potential transfer negotiations.

Victor Osimhen’s achievements with Napoli, including helping the club win the Scudetto and being the first-ever African Capocannoniere of Serie A, have undoubtedly contributed to his contract extension. It’s a testament to his skills and impact on the team since joining from Lille in a €75 million deal in September 2020.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis seems excited about the contract renewal, as indicated by his announcement on social media with the simple yet powerful word, ‘Done!’ Overall, it’s a positive development for both the player and the club.
