Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is set to extend his contract at Serie A champions Napoli by a further one year as his current deal will expire in June 2025.

According to Sky Sports Italia, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis met on Wednesday afternoon with Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, to talk about the renewal until 2026,

It is believed a significant salary increase and a release clause of between €130million and €140million will be in the new deal.

With the new contract, Osimhen would earn more than the € 4.5 million annual salary he currently receives.

Also, Napoli will have greater contractual strength next summer in the event of offers from top European clubs.

Osimhen marked his 2023 CAF Player of the Year award with a goal in Napoli’s 2-0 win against Braga in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The win was enough to send Napoli into the round of 16 after finishing second behind Real Madrid.

He has scored six goals in 11 league games for Napoli this season and seven goals in 15 games in all competitions.
