With discussions going on between both parties, the Super Eagles striker is close to agreeing a new deal with Napoli that will see him remain at the club beyond his current commitment.

The 24-year-old has had several meetings with the club via his agent Roberto Calenda but no agreement has been found although Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal has presented the forward with a huge offer the Napoli striker seems to not be interested.

Il Martino via Calciomercato reported that Osimhen has made his demands known to Napoli before putting pen to paper on a contract extension.

The striker wants a salary of around €12m net per season and ownership of his image rights, whilst the club has proposed wages of just under €10m between the fixed fee, add-ons, and image rights.

It was also reported that the player wants his release clause set at €110m but Aurelio De Laurentiis wants it at €150m and a separate amount for Saudi Arabian clubs.
