Despite interest from top European clubs, Osimhen is set to remain at Napoli after Aurelio de Laurentiis confirmed they have agreed on a contract renewal.
According to Napoli owner Aurelio de Laurentiis, Nigerian ace Victor Osimhen has agreed on a new two-year contract extension with the Partenopei.
The 24-year-old striker was tremendous for the Naples-based side this season, leading them to their first League title in 33 years and picking up the Capocannoniere to go with it.
This has made him of interest to a number of top European clubs, casting doubts over his continuation with the Serie A champions.
