President Aurelio De Laurentiis has hinted that the Victor Osimhen contract extension is truly imminent. ‘It might be the surprise gift under the Christmas Tree.’
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.
The contract is expected to include a release clause set at €140m, so it is still entirely possible that a club from abroad could swoop in for Osimhen over the summer. READ ALSO:

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.
