In a significant development that has captured the attention of football fans worldwide, Napoli’s star striker, Victor Osimhen, has reportedly set forth his conditions for signing a contract extension with the Serie A champions. The Nigerian forward, who played a pivotal role in Napoli’s title victory after 33 years last season, has been making headlines both on and off the field.
According to reliable sources, Osimhen is ready to commit his future to Napoli but only if his annual salary is bumped up to a staggering N8 billion. His current contract, set to expire at the end of the upcoming season, sees him earn €6 million per year (equivalent to N6 billion). However, the 23-year-old goal machine now seeks a considerable raise in his wages, demanding €8 million (approximately N8 billion) annually, as per reports from Tutto Napoli.
Osimhen’s exceptional performance during the previous campaign showcased his goal-scoring prowess, with an impressive tally of 26 goals in the Serie A and five goals in the UEFA Champions League. His exploits in Europe’s elite club competition helped Napoli reach the quarterfinals for the first time, further elevating his stature in the footballing world.
Unsurprisingly, Osimhen’s remarkable form has caught the eye of several top-tier clubs, including Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich, who have expressed interest in acquiring his services during the ongoing transfer window.
However, Napoli remains determined to retain their prized asset and secure his services for an extended period. The club is eager to extend Osimhen’s contract until the summer of 2027, thus ensuring his continued presence in their squad.

Osimhen’s potential contract extension is a subject of keen interest for fans, football pundits, and media alike, eagerly awaiting updates on the negotiations and the player’s final decision.
As the situation unfolds, football enthusiasts are left to speculate whether Napoli will meet Osimhen’s demands, securing the striker’s services for an extended period, or if other top clubs will seize the opportunity to bring the prolific forward into their ranks.
Football aficionados are advised to stay tuned to reliable sources for updates on this captivating transfer saga that may shape the landscape of European football in the coming seasons.
