Napoli plan to make Victor Osimhen the highest earner in the entire Serie A, according to II Corriere dello Sport.
The Serie A champions are doing everything to keep Osimhen and sell him at a huge profit thereafter.
They have therefore proposed to him a gross salary of 15 Million Euros a year, which will make him the highest earner in Serie A.
This proposal is part of the on-going negotiations between Napoli and the player for an extension of his contract till June 2026.
A release clause of 150 Million Euros will also be inserted to this new contract.
However, this new deal may not be as close as earlier reported.
Osimhen himself suggested an agreement is some way off.
“The president is the boss,” Osimhen said after his brace at Frosinone last weekend.
“We are still negotiating, we’ll see at the end of the transfer window. For now, I am a Napoli player which is the most important thing.
“I will give my heart and soul to this team as I’ve always done in the past. We’ll see what happens.”
