This revelation, unveiled to the world just this morning, has undoubtedly sparked a ray of hope among the loyal followers of the Azzurri team.

Osimhen, presently sidelined due to injury, expressed his gratitude towards the club for allowing him to return to his homeland, Nigeria, for a brief respite. According to reports from ‘Il Mattino,' this gesture by Napoli's management is seen as a clear sign of trust and willingness to forge an agreement extending Osimhen's tenure beyond the current contract's expiration in June 2025.
