Victor Osimhen has been saluted by the Napoli coach just as his agent is set to meet with the Serie A champions over a new contract for the striker.
Barely 24 hours after he was named Africa’s best player in Morocco, Osimhen flew back to Italy to score for Napoli to guarantee their place in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.
Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri said the entire team applauded him for his latest award.
In the meantime, the striker’s agent, Roberto Calenda, is due to meet with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis over a new contract for his client.
Calenda was at the Champions League tie against Sporting Braga in Naples.
The Napoli president has claimed again that Osimhen has agreed to extend his contract with the club even though this has yet to be confirmed by the camp of the player.
Osimhen will be a top transfer target next month for some of Europe’s biggest clubs should a deal not be agreed with Napoli.
His Transfermarkt value is 120 Million Euros, but Napoli will demand far in excess of this from suitors, who include several Premier League clubs
