Reports from various sources, including Sky Sport Italia and Fabrizio Romano, suggest that Osimhen’s new contract comes with a substantial boost to his salary, now reaching €10 million per season after tax. Additionally, the deal incorporates a release clause set between €120-130 million, applicable exclusively to foreign clubs in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The inclusion of a release clause could attract interest from top European clubs, with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly undeterred by the set asking price.
Napoli initially secured Osimhen’s services from Lille in September 2020 for a fee of €75 million, plus bonuses. The Nigerian striker played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph, becoming the first African Capocannoniere of Serie A and earning the title of African Player of the Year.
