Napoli Set 150 Million Euro Release Clause for Osimhen Amid Transfer Interest

The Nigerian striker attracts attention from Europe's elite as Napoli stand firm on valuation.

Napoli have reportedly set a 150 million euro release clause for Victor Osimhen amid intense interest from several major European clubs, according to sources close to the negotiations.

The Nigerian international has been in spectacular form this season, scoring 24 goals in 28 appearances across all competitions. His performances have attracted attention from Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has made clear his stance: "Victor is one of the best strikers in the world. If any club wants him, they must pay his value. We are under no pressure to sell."

Osimhen's agent, Roberto Calenda, has been in discussions with multiple clubs, though he insists his client remains focused on Napoli's title defense: "Victor is happy in Naples. He has great respect for the club and the fans. Any decision about his future will be made at the appropriate time."

The 25-year-old played a crucial role in Napoli's historic Serie A title win in 2022-23, scoring 26 league goals. His combination of pace, power, and clinical finishing makes him one of the most sought-after strikers in world football.

Financial Fair Play considerations may influence which clubs can realistically compete for his signature, with the massive fee and expected wages presenting challenges even for Europe's wealthiest clubs.
