Napoli is prepared to break their wage structure in order to retain Victor Osimhen at the club, offering him a significantly larger salary than his current earnings, according to Sports Extra. The Nigerian striker is enjoying an impressive season, having scored 14 goals in 19 appearances across all competitions. His outstanding performance has led to speculation about a potential move away from the Serie A giants next season, with numerous clubs across Europe reportedly interested in acquiring him.
Reports from Italy, as highlighted by AreaNapoli, indicate that Napoli is willing to make an exception to their maximum salary limit of €3.5 million per year for any player in order to keep Osimhen beyond next summer. The club plans to meet with the forward’s representatives to discuss a contract that could be worth up to €7 million per season. Napoli believes this substantial offer could persuade Osimhen to remain with the team for at least one more year.
While this contract proposal is significant by Serie A standards, Manchester United, which is keen to sign the Nigerian international, is in a position to offer him a much higher salary. Osimhen may be inclined to test himself in the Premier League. Should he decide to leave, Napoli is likely to accept offers around €120 million for him next summer. Given his remarkable form this season, there will undoubtedly be no shortage of suitors once the transfer window opens.
It is not surprising that some of the biggest clubs in Europe are eyeing Osimhen. He possesses a powerful physique, exceptional pace, and is a superb finisher, boasting a career record of 80 goals in 171 appearances. As he is only 24 years old, his goal tally is expected to continue rising.
