<p>Victor Osimhen has established himself as one of the most potent goalscorers in European football during his time with Napoli in Serie A.</p>
<p>The Nigeria striker joined the Partenopei in 2020 and helped fire them to their first Scudetto since the days of Diego Maradona in 2022/23, scoring 31 goals in 39 games in all competitions for his club side.</p>
<p>While Napoli have struggled since that title triumph, Osimhen remains a man in demand. A finalist at the Africa Cup of Nations in early 2024, the 25-year-old continues to be linked with a move away from Italy ahead of the 2024/25 season gets underway.</p>
<p>Chelsea have long been linked with a bid for the player and most recently it's been reported that a <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/premier-league/news/chelsea-napoli-work… deal could be on the cards</a>, involving Romelu Lukaku.</p>
<p>Paris Saint-Germain, who still <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/news/kylian-mbappe-real-madrid-c…; target="_blank">need to replace Kylian Mbappe this year</a>, have also been credited with an interest in Osimhen.</p>
<p>The Sporting News looks at the details of Osimhen's Napoli contract, including that all-important release clause, as teams consider whether to tempt the forward into a move.</p>

<h2>Victor Osimhen contract, release clause, salary</h2>
<p>In December 2023, Osimhen signed a new contract with Napoli that runs until the end of the 2025/26 season.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Victor & Napoli together until 2026 💙 <a href="https://t.co/Gs0WVckkBw">pic.twitter.com/Gs0WVckkBw</a></p>
— Official SSC Napoli (@sscnapoli) <a href="https://twitter.com/sscnapoli/status/1738553624786051546?ref_src=twsrc%… 23, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<p>That might seem a strange move for a player who looks to have achieved everything he can at the club and is eyeing up a possible transfer, but there was a good reason behind Osimhen's decision to extend.</p>
<p>Not only did the new deal see Osimhen's salary nearly double to a reported <strong>€10 million ($10.85m) per season</strong>, the contract also contains a release clause, which is said to be between <strong>€120m and €130m</strong>.</p>
<p>Should a team be willing to pay that clause in 2024, Napoli would be unable to stop their star striker from leaving — although a nine-figure fee would of course enable them to invest in the playing squad to a significant degree.</p>

<h2>Victor Osimhen net worth</h2>
<p>Osimhen's net worth is unclear and the subject of much online speculation, but realistic estimates place it between <strong>$10 million and $12 million</strong>.</p>
<p>He would stand to earn approximately $27m if he stayed at Napoli for the duration of his current contract.</p>
<h2>How much did Napoli sign Victor Osimhen for?</h2>
<p>Napoli signed Osimhen from French club Lille in July 2020.</p>
<p>Club president <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/37585666/napoli-sign-forward-osi…; target="_blank">Aurelio De Laurentiis</a> told La Gazzetta dello Sport that Napoli would pay an initial fee of €70 million, with a further €10m due in bonuses, making Osimhen the club's record signing.</p>
<p>The Serie A side would stand to make a profit of at least €40m should a team agree to pay Osimhen's release clause in 2024.</p>
