Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed that Victor Osimhen is on the verge of committing to a new contract with the club, dispelling rumours linking the Nigerian striker to Chelsea.
De Laurentiis stated, “With Osimhen, we are about to finalize the contract that was pending this summer.” It is worth noting that Osimhen’s existing contract extends until 2025.
In Napoli’s recent 2-1 victory over Atalanta, the Super Eagles star not only made a successful comeback after sustaining an injury in a friendly match for Nigeria last month but also contributed with an assist. Osimhen played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph last year.
Acknowledged as one of the most formidable strikers in Europe, Osimhen has earned praise for his prowess on the field, earning him the title of a complete striker by football pundits, including former World Footballer of the Year, George Opong Weah.
