Osimhen has been in excellent scoring form so far this season, netting 14 league goals in 16 appearances.
Ahead of Napoli’s clash against Spezia on Sunday, the Italian giants held a 13-point lead at the Serie A summit.
Osichen has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer, with Erik ten Hag’s side keen to sign a striker following his acrimonious exit from Old Trafford last year.
According to reports, the Red Devils will have to pay at least £90 million to sign the Napoli striker.
Osimen joined Napoli from Lille in 2020 for £62.4m, scoring 43 goals in 82 appearances in all competitions since then.
His contract with Luciano Spalletti’s side expires in 2025 and talks over a new deal are believed to be yet to take place.
