De Laurentiis had already commented on the deal to pin down the Nigeria international to a new contract until June 2026 with improved terms.
“It might, and I say might, be the surprise gift under the Christmas Tree,” De Laurentiis told TG1.

It would still be almost double what Napoli paid to sign him from LOSC in September 2020, which was €75m plus bonuses.
Osimhen has scored seven goals in 14 league appearances for the Serie A champions this season.
