Napoli are planning a new round of talks with their talismanic striker Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen has less than two years on his contract with the Serie A champions.
There was a verbal agreement between the Partenopei and the Nigeria on a two-year contract this summer.
Recent happenings between the forward and Napoli has cast his future in doubt.
Osimhen sustained sustained a muscular injury on international duty with Nigeria last week.
It adds to the growing tension around the striker, who was furious at the TikTok videos recently posted by the club.
Napoli’s sporting director Mauro Meluso claimed owner Aurelio De Laurentiis will meet Osimhen’s representatives to finalise a new contract. READ ALSO:
