The Italian club’s president and owner Aurelio De Laurentiis disclosed this on Friday.

De Laurentiis was responding to an interview that Osimhen, who is with Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations, gave to American television network CBS, in which the 25-year-old striker said he had already “made up” his mind about his next move.

Questioned by Italian media after a meeting of the Italian Football League, De Laurentiis said he was not surprised, even though Osimhen signed a contract extension with the Italian champions in December

Italian media have reported that the contract contains a release clause of between 120 and 130 million euros ($130 million to $141 million).
