Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has told Napoli board that he wants a release clause inserted in his contract before he extends his contract at the club.
Osimhen has been the best striker in Napoli in recent years. He scored 26 Serie A goals last season to help the club to their first Scudetto in 33 years. This ensured that he became the first African to win the Capocannoniere.
His displays have attracted some of the best clubs in Europe, with PSG, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich interested in getting his services.
However, Napoli are not willing to let the 24-year-old striker leave the club. Osimhen’s contract expires in 2025, but they want to extend his stay.
According Italialain media Tutto Napoli reports that Osimhen has told the club that he wants a release clause inserted before he signs a renewal.
“Napoli are seeking clarity from Victor Osimhen for the renewal of the contract.
“Aurelio De Laurentiis will soon see the Nigerian attacker’s agent for whom he is asking for €180m. On the table is the proposal to renew the contract now expiring in 2025 with a salary of €4.5m.
Napoli’s offer is up to €6m, but will that be enough? Osimhen wants a release clause to be inserted.”
If they do this, Osimhen could leave once a club triggers his release clause. Also, he could submit a transfer request if he wants to leave.
Napoli want €180m for the former Lille man, but his suitors may not offer that kind of money.
