Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen extends Napoli contract until 2026

Naples’ Hitman Commits Long-Term to the Azzurri

In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through Italian football, Napoli’s lethal striker Victor Osimhen has inked a lucrative new deal that will keep him at the club until 2026.

The Nigerian sensation played an instrumental role in Napoli’s triumphant Serie A campaign last season, netting an astonishing 26 goals in just 32 appearances. The team clinched their first league title in over three decades, thanks in large part to Osimhen’s sensational performances.

Proving his mettle on both domestic and international stages, the talented forward not only secured the prestigious Italian Footballers’ Association Player of the Year award but also earned himself the coveted African Footballer of the Year accolade for 2023.

Osimhen had been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia during last summer’s transfer window. However, he made a resolute decision that would propel his career even further and opted to stay put at Naples instead. This commitment demonstrates his unwavering dedication to achieving success with Napoli.

Prior to signing this extension, Osimhen was contracted until 2025. The announcement of his renewed agreement was shared by Napoli on social media platforms alongside an image capturing Osimhen standing proudly beside club president Aurelio De Laurentiis – a visual testament to their united front moving forward into future seasons.
