In December 2023, the Nigerian international’s contract with Napoli was extended to June 30, 2026, with a 130 million euro release clause. Despite that, he has continued attracting suitors across Europe, pushing for his signature.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis made it easier for his suitors when he announced last weekend that Osimhen would leave the team in the summer.
