Napoli Coach Hails Osimhen Over New Contract Talks

Victor Osimhen has been saluted by the Napoli Coach, Walter Mazzarri,  just as  the Agent of the Nigerian striker, Roberto Calenda, is set to meet with the Serie A champions over a new contract for the newly crowned Africa’s best player of 2023.

Barely 24 hours after he was named Africa’s best player in Morocco, Osimhen flew back to Italy to score for Napoli to guarantee their place in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.

Napoli coach Mazzarri said the entire team applauded Osimhen for his latest award.

In the meantime, the striker’s agent Calenda is due to meet with Napoli President,  Aurelio De Laurentiis, over a new contract for his client.

Calenda was at the Champions League tie against Sporting Braga in Naples.

The Napoli president has claimed again that Osimhen has agreed to extend his contract with the club even though this has yet to be confirmed by the camp of the player.

Osimhen will be a top transfer target in the winter transfer window next month for some of Europe’s biggest clubs should a deal not be agreed with Napoli.

His Transfermarkt value is 120 Million Euros, but Napoli will demand far in excess of this from suitors, who include several Premier League clubs.
