Chelsea are set to activate Osimhen’s release clause, with a €30 million-per-year contract proposal on the table.

Victor Osimhen could secure a highly lucrative contract worth €30 million per year, as three clubs are reportedly prepared to activate his release clause at Napoli this summer.

Last year, Osimhen was at the center of an intense transfer saga, but with no club willing to meet Napoli’s valuation exceeding €120 million, a permanent move did not materialize. Instead, he joined Galatasaray on loan.

The Nigerian striker has continued his impressive goal-scoring form in Turkey, drawing renewed interest from several top clubs.

Manchester United, Chelsea, and PSG are all reportedly set to trigger the €75 million release clause in Osimhen’s contract, as per NapoliMagazine. However, they face competition from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, who could provide a surprising challenge in negotiations.

Contract Talks Take Center Stage

Osimhen is seeking a salary of at least €10 million per year, but Chelsea can reportedly only offer €8 million—one of the reasons why a late move to Stamford Bridge fell through last summer.

At that time, he had already reached an agreement on personal terms with PSG, but the French club hesitated to meet Napoli’s valuation. This could give Luis Enrique’s side a slight edge in the race to sign him, especially with Manchester United’s European qualification in doubt.

Meanwhile, Al-Ahli are prepared to make an aggressive move, offering Osimhen a staggering €30 million per season, which would place him among the highest-paid footballers in the world.

The Nigerian forward received a similar proposal from Saudi Arabia last summer but turned it down in pursuit of a major European club. However, with such an enormous financial incentive on the table again, rejecting it a second time may p

rove difficult.
