The agent of Victor Osimhen, Roberto Calenda is ready for another meeting with Napoli according to an Italian website, TMW.
His contract expires with the club in 18 months but Aurelio De Laurentiis recently stated that a new deal had been almost fully agreed.
The 24-year-old Nigerian striker was named African Men’s Footballer of the Year on Monday at a ceremony in Marrakech, Morocco and was immediately back in action for his club, playing 69 minutes of their decisive Champions League clash with Braga.
The Nigerian striker scored his first goal of the competition in the 33rd minute, his seventh of the season across all competitions.
As reported by TMW, Calenda was in the stands of the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to watch Napoli’s win over Braga, and he is now expected to meet De Laurentiis.
The meeting could be the key step forward for the Nigerian striker’s contract renewal, which still hasn’t been finalised despite the Napoli president’s claims earlier this month that the parties were at ‘the signing stage’.
Osimhen is expected to command interest when the January transfer window reopens should his contract renewal stalls before next month, being the most exciting centre forward available in the transfer market currently.
