Victor Osimhen signs with Napoli until 2026: Super Eagles star puts Chelsea rumor to bed

Ahead of the 2024 AFCON, Osimhen signs trillion-naira deal with Napoli until 2026 to keep Chelsea away.

Victor Osimhen has signed a contract extension with Napoli through June 2026, which includes a €130 million release clause.

The striker from Nigeria has now signed the fully documented deal after weeks of speculation.

This will significantly raise his current salary to €10 million each season after taxes, but more importantly, it will include a €130 million release clause that is only applicable to teams outside of Italy.

Despite the extension, there are rumors that Napoli plans to sell Osimhen in the summer of 2024 to balance the books and save 75% on taxes for this salary.

The center forward was instrumental in the team winning its first Scudetto in more than 30 years after joining from LOSC in September 2020 for a fee of €75 million with bonuses.
