NAPOLI MAY SELL OSIMHEN FOR €120M NEXT SUMMER

Napoli could be forced to sell their star striker Victor Osimhen for around €120m next summer if he fails to sign a new contract, according to transfer expert Ben Jacobs.

Osimhen’s current deal expires in 2024, and he has so far resisted Napoli’s attempts to extend it. The Serie A club are now considering selling him next summer to avoid losing him for free the following year.

Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT: “Osimhen’s price tag could drop if he does not sign a new contract. Napoli are keen to tie him down to a new deal, but they are also aware that they may have to sell him next summer if he does not sign.

“There is a lot of interest in Osimhen from Premier League clubs, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur all reportedly interested. Napoli would be looking for around €120m for him, but that price could drop if he does not sign a new contract.”

Osimhen joined Napoli from Ligue 1 side Lille in 2020 for a club-record fee of €70m. He has scored 24 goals in 49 appearances for the Partenopei, and played a key role in their title success last season.
