Osimhen is on a contract that expires in June 2025 so keeping him to play for one more season before you sell him is a very good decision by Napoli.
Nobody is going to buy Osimhen for anything higher than a hundred million, so if they keep him for an additional season and hopefully his value doesn't depreciate, he can be sold for 100 milli0n. That would be very good business for Napoli. The only risk they are facing now is that his value might drop next season, and this would only happen if Napoli don't perform well. I would like Osimhen to spend one more season at Napoli. He's loved and respected there so if will be good to honor them with one more season since he's still young and enjoying his time at Napoli.
Actually, Aurelio de Laurentiis seemed to say that after the end of the season, Viktor Osimhen verbally promised him that he would extend the contract and the only reason that this did not happen was the issue of raising the salary of a football player. Now it seems that this issue has been resolved and the contract should be extended, and therefore the conversation will not be about 2025, but 2027. In any case, in my opinion it is right that the club does not arrange its total sale of leaders immediately after a successful season and I do not like it at all when something like this happens and at the same time leave the club's fans in ruins. Yes, anything can happen next season and the results of the players may fall and the price accordingly, but with a successful outcome, the price on the contrary may rise. And the extension of the contract does not mean that the club then closes the possibility of selling the player. No, it's just that the club is more protected from the robbery of the club by a football player and his agent and from richer clubs of buyers.
