Mauro Meluso, Napoli’s sporting director, has stated that the club is finalising Victor Osimhen’s contract.
Osimhen’s current contract will expire in 2025, but he is allegedly willing to sign a one-year extension.
A €130-140 million release clause is also believed to be included in the pact.
Meluso indicated that the Serie A champions will announce the new contract shortly.
“We are accustomed to working behind the scenes and without big announcements before things are done. It will obviously be up to President Aurelio De Laurentiis to give the news,” Meluso told Mediaset.
“It has been a long negotiation process and we hope to conclude it, but only make announcements when everything is sealed. Both parties are eager to get this deal closed and we’ll see what happens over the next few weeks.”
Osimhen has registered seven goals in 12 league appearances for the Partenopei this season.
