Osimhen wants pay rise, release clause inserted in his new contract

Victor Osimhen’s contract negotiations with Napoli are ongoing, with his agent Roberto Calenda in regular contact with the club president Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Osimhen had an outstanding season in Serie A last year, and Napoli is eager to secure him with a long-term contract.

The 24-year-old has two years left on his current deal and Napoli want to avoid being forced to cash in on the forward next summer.

However, the main point of contention appears to be the inclusion of a release clause in the new deal, which Osimhen desires for future assurances.

While there is hope for an agreement, certain details, including salary and release clause still needs to be ironed out before a new contract is signed.
