CAUSED A CRISIS IN NAPOLI

Victor Osimhen, who has a contract until the summer of 2026 and an annual net salary of 11 million euros, wanted to transfer to Paris Saint-Germain during the summer transfer period, but the clubs could not reach an agreement.

This time, Chelsea reached an agreement with Napoli for Osimhen's transfer, but the Nigerian player refused to go to Chelsea.

Later on, Al-Ahli, one of Saudi Arabia's important clubs, could not reach a common ground with Napoli.

Following these developments, Napoli's head coach Antonio Conte transferred Lukaku, whom he had previously worked with at Chelsea and Inter, and excluded Osimhen from the squad.

NAPOLI PERFORMANCE

The 25-year-old player, who has been wearing the Napoli jersey since 2020, has scored 76 goals and made 18 assists in 133 matches played for the Italian team.

Osimhen, whose current market value is shown as 100 million euros, has a contract with Napoli until 2026.

Napoli has the option to renew the Nigerian player's contract until 2027, and if they do not sell him by June, they will exercise this option. In case of contract renewal, Osimhen's salary will remain the same, but the release clause will be 80 million euros instead of 150 million euros.
