Serie A: Napoli to make Osimhen highest earner

Serie A champions Napoli plan to make their talismanic forward, Victor Osimhen the highest earner in the top-flight.

According to Italian news hub, Corriere dello Sport, the Partenopei have proposed to the striker a €15m a year salary.

Osimhen’s representatives and Napoli are still locked in negotiations over a new contract.

Napoli want the Nigeria international to sign a new two-year contract that will see him remain at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona until 2007.

A release clause of €150m will also be inserted in the contract.

Osimhen confirmed after Napoli’s 3-1 away win at Frosinone last weekend that he is still in talks with Napoli over a new contract.

Napoli recently turned down two lucrative bids from Saudi Arabia Professional Football League outfit, Al Hilal for the 24-year-old.
