Napleswe are willing to break their salary structure to keep Victor Osimhen at the club and offer him a higher salary than he is earning now, PUNCH Sports supplement the reports
The Nigerian striker is enjoying an excellent season at Napoli, scoring 14 goals in 19 games in all competitions this campaign.
He has been heavily linked with a move away from the Serie A giants next season, with several clubs across Europe believed to be interested in him.
According to reports from Italy, it has been reported Area NaplesIt has been claimed that Napoli are willing to break their wage structure to keep the striker beyond next summer.
They have a maximum salary cap of €3.5 million per year for any player, but Napoli are willing to make an exception for Osimhen.
The club will meet with the forward’s representatives and offer him a contract of up to 7 million euros per season and Napoli believe that he can help convince Osimh to stay for at least one more season.
While that’s a hefty contract offer by Serie A standards, Manchester United, who are keen to sign the Nigeria international, are in a position to offer much more than that and Osimhen will surely want to try his hand in the Premier League.
However, if he does want to leave, Napoli are likely to accept €120m bids for him next summer and with his outstanding form this season, there will be no shortage of suitors once the transfer window opens.
It’s no wonder Europe’s biggest clubs are eyeing the striker as he’s strong, has pace and is an excellent finisher with 80 goals in 171 outings, and that’s expected to continue to rise as he’s still on his own. 24
