Arsenal has received a glimmer of hope in their pursuit of Victor Osimhen, as recent reports indicate that the striker is on the verge of signing a new deal with Napoli. Osimhen has been a target for the Gunners, and speculation has suggested a potential move to England in the upcoming January transfer window.
Initial discussions regarding a new deal for Osimhen had encountered delays, but recent reports suggest that negotiations have resumed. Napoli has reportedly made progress, agreeing to the terms of a new contract for the Nigerian striker. However, the new deal is said to include a release clause.
According to an Italian journalist, Osimhen could still leave Napoli if the right price is offered. This development may offer Arsenal a renewed sense of optimism in their pursuit of the talented striker, provided they are willing to meet the stipulated release clause in the potential new contract.
Ciro Venerato said, as quoted by Area Napoli:
“All that’s missing is the announcement and the definition of the details, but we’re now there: the renewal of Victor Osimhen It seems like a done deal.
“The last obstacle was the termination clause of the contract, now outdated: €130m is the right figure, but it cannot be ruled out that it could be €140m if clubs with high turnover approached him.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Every player has a price and we should know this by now, which is why we can still get Osimhen.
His release clause protects Napoli from losing him cheaply, and they might be open to allowing him to leave for less money than his clause.

He would be crazy to sign a new contract with Napoli unless his been promised a signing on fee, Napoli are still in CL they could make around 20 Million just for the next stage of the CL, Victor is a perfect fit for Arsenal but I don’t think we can get him unless we are willing to offer Napoli around 60M and the player 40M signing on fee, his well worth it
He is one of the top strikers in the world right now.
He will end up at Real Madrid, Barcelona or Man City.
I cannot see how Arsenal could afford him given our compliance with financial fair play.
I am afraid we are stuck with Eddie – at least until the summer as I cannot see any club letting top strikers leave in January.
Recently we are seen as a top flight team if we continue to buy WClass players, we have a few fringe players that we can sell and with the income from CL I thing we can afford him in January if the player is willing to come and if Thomas Partey stays fit until end of season so we don’t splash the cash on another MF
