The new deal is expected to have a release clause between between €130m and €140m.
The Nigeria international is also expected to enjoy a pay rise.
Osimhen’s current deal with Napoli runs out in June 2025.
The two parties will meet again this week, but they are expected to agree on the final details soon and announce the forward’s extension pretty quickly. READ ALSO:
