Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, is demanding a £103.8million (€120m) release clause inserted into any contract he will sign with the club.
The Super Eagles star scored 31 goals for Napoli last season, including 26 in the league.
That helped the Italian giants lift their first Serie A title in 33 years and left several top European clubs, such as Manchester United, keen on signing Osimhen.
It’s believed Osimhen is willing to sign a new contract, as Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is refusing to sell him this summer. Yet the striker wants a release clause inserted into his new deal to allow him to fulfil his “dream” of playing in the Premier League.
Osimhen has just two years left on his existing deal and Napoli don’t want to risk losing him on the cheap in a year’s time.
