Napoli, Victor Osimhen’s renewal gets complicated
Napoli, stalled renewal for Victor Osimhen
After a below-expectations start of the season, the issue related to the future of Victor Osimhen, whose contract will expire in June 2025, is back on the table at Napoli. The partenopei, in fact, after having armored the player in the summer soccer market session would be willing to start contacts with the Nigerian center forward's entourage to find an agreement for an extension.
According to a report by "La Gazzetta dello Sport", however, the complicated start to the season and the strained relationship with coach Rudi Garcia, also complicit in the controversial substitution during the final of the match against Bologna, would have put talks for a possible contract renewal on the uphill slope. At the same time, the hypothesis of an eventual farewell by the former Lille striker already in the winter soccer market session would also be gaining momentum.
The situation of the 1998 class would be closely followed by several top European clubs, as a definitive break between the player and the club could significantly lower the price of the player's card. According to a report by "Talk Sport", the main club interested in the Nigerian would be Chelsea, which needs to reinforce its offensive department.
On the sixth day of Serie A, however, Victor Osimhen will be on the field regularly from 1' against Udinese to try to regain a victory that the Azzurri have been missing for exactly one month in the league.
