Victor Osimhen is reportedly now further than ever from signing a contract extension at Napoli following the controversial TikTok video the club recently posted.
The controversy comes at a time when the Italian champions are looking to tie the 24-year-old down to a new long-term contract., the forward was open to leaving the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona during the off-season for either Paris Saint-Germain or Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal, but ultimately club president Aurelio de Laurentiis rebuffed both offers in the hopes of keeping last season's Serie A top goalscorer.
Osimhen's agent, Roberto Calenda, and De Laurentiis have been embroiled in contract negotiations for a few months now, and while nothing came to fruition in the latest transfer window, it seems the Italian executive may have missed his chance to keep the Super Eagles member for the long term. Calenda was believed to have been waiting for a new offer from the club, but the TikTok ordeal is said to have frozen negotiations.Now, a January exit from Napoli seems likelier than ever as the commotion surrounding the player, coupled with the fact that he has just over a year remaining on his current deal, means that his value will likely drop in the coming months, something that will appeal to many of Europe's top sides.
