The deal is reportedly worth twice the amount (4.5m euro) he’s presently earning at Napoli that amounts to N3.4 billion in Nigerian currency

La Repubblica has stated they have studied the 45-page contract Osimhen signed in 2020 after his move from Lille.

The Nigeria international has been in fine for this season, scoring 13 goals from 25 Serie A matches.

The Nigerian has been in impressive form for the Naples side this season, netting 17 goals and contributing six assists in 30 appearances across all competitions.

This comes as the Super Eagles try to put the heartbreak of their failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup behind them.

Newcastle failed with an attempt in January and received the same response from Napoli this week, reports Calciomercato.com.

Italian sports daily, Corriere dello Sport, via Spazio Napoli said Manchester United would have asked De Laurentiis the cost of the number 9 card and the president’s response was 110 million euros.

Dries Mertens scored twice, while there were also goals from Kalidou Koulibaly, Osimhen, Hirving Lozano and Amir Rrahmani in a rampant display from Napoli, who were 4-0 up after 21 minutes of Saturday’s match.

The Nigeria international has scored 16 times in 28 appearances in club competitions in the 2021-2022 season.

Despite battling with injuries throughout his time at the Partenopei so far, the 23-year-old has scored 26 goals in 58 competitive matches since his arrival in Naples in September 2020.

The 23-year-old has been in strong form for his Italian club during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring 16 times and registering five assists in 28 appearances in all competitions.

Despite spending almost two months on the sidelines with a cheekbone fracture, the 23-year-old has still managed to score 16 times from 28 matches in all competitions this season.

CBS Sports reports that Napoli want at least €80 million (£67.4 million) to consider selling Osimhen this summer

In fact, he scored all of Napoli’s goals in March, helping his side to victory in two of their three games in the month

With Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah both out of contract at the end of the season, the North London club are expected to bring in at least one new centre-forward in the summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old has been a key player for the Serie A title contenders this season, scoring 16 goals and registering five assists in 26 appearances across all competitions.

Osimhen, who had struggled all day to get the better of the brilliant Igor Julio, smashed home the goal which will offer little consolation to the Nigerian.

Napoli, in a statement on their official website, disclosed that Osimhen was forced off the pitch during yesterday’s training session due to a thigh injury.

Last week, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Osimhen returned from international duty later than expected.

The Super Eagles striker, who went the distance in both games against Ghana in the 2022 World Cup playoff, has yet to show up in Naples as at Sunday afternoon.
