Osimhen has less than two years remaining on his current deal with the Partenopei and with Arsenal and Chelsea circling around the Nigerian , Napoli are desperate to hold on to their talismanic striker.
The 24-year-old is expected to sign an extension with a release clause of €130-140m inserted into the contract and the club chief says the deal is close.
“We are accustomed to working behind the scenes and without big announcements before things are done. It will obviously be up to President Aurelio De Laurentiis to give the news,” Meluso told Mediaset.
