Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian forward, is expected to secure a new contract after his impressive performances for Napoli have attracted interest from top European clubs. Napoli, however, have no intention of losing their star striker. Under Luciano Spalletti, the team is on track to win its first Scudetto since the Diego Maradona era, currently sitting 13 points clear of second‑place Inter after 21 games.
A key factor in Napoli’s success has been the prolific partnership between Osimhen and Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who have combined for 24 league goals this season. Their form has drawn attention from across Europe. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has been in recent weeks contacting the representatives of both players to ensure everyone is aligned.
Both Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia are reportedly happy in Campania and have expressed a desire to remain at the club beyond this season, despite various transfer rumours. Napoli aim to extend Osimhen’s contract by at least one year, until June 2026, to fend off interest from Manchester United and Chelsea. His current net salary of €4.5 million per season could also increase with lucrative add‑ons.
Kvaratskhelia’s situation differs slightly. He is already under a long‑term deal that runs until 2027 but earns a significantly lower wage. At the end of the season, Napoli plan to discuss doubling his salary as a reward for his outstanding debut year in Serie A.
