Napoli sporting director, Mauro Meluso, has revealed that Victor Osimhen is close to penning a new contract with the Serie A champions.
Osimhen has less than two years remaining on his current deal with the Partenopei.
With European big guns including Chelsea and Arsenal circling around the Nigerian , Napoli are desperate to hold on to their talismanic striker.
The 24-year-old is expected to sign an extension with a release clause of €130-140m inserted into the contract.
“We are accustomed to working behind the scenes and without big announcements before things are done. It will obviously be up to President Aurelio De Laurentiis to give the news,” Meluso told Mediaset.
“It has been a long negotiation process and we hope to conclude it, but only make announcements when everything is sealed.
