Osimhen On The Verge Of Unlocking ₦100m Goals Bonus At Napoli

African most expensive player, Victor Osimhen, is on the verge of history at Napoli and could earn a bonus that worth over a hundred million naira (₦100) if he reaches the set milestone for a season.

Osimhen's 2022/23 campaign has been extraordinary, tearing defenses apart and netting spectacular goals with incredible regularity.


Though he missed a month due to injury, the Nigerian forward is the top scorer in Serie A with 18 goals in 19 appearances. He has also scored twice in the Champions League, bringing his tally to 20.

Napoli made Osimhen the most expensive African player in history when the Italians paid the French side, LOSC Lille €75m, and included a couple of players in the deal that saw the total fee go above €80m in 2021.

Osimhen's contract includes a clause that would see him earn more than his basic salary of €4.8m (₦2.3bn) and one of those set milestones mandated Napoli to pay Osimhen €130,130 (₦63.6m) should the Nigerian forward score 20 goals in a season.

Having reached twenty goals milestone, the twenty-four-year-old has activated the goals bonus in his contract after scoring his 20th goal of the season, which obligates Napoli to pay him a bonus of €130,130 (₦64m).

Osimhen will unlock a similar bonus if he is able to increase the total to 25 goals and in the form, he is in, scoring five more is only a matter of when not if, and he could be earning a bonus that is worth over a hundred million naira (₦100m).

The Nigerian international is in the third and easily the best year of his five-year contract with the Patenopeis.

Osimhen only scored 10 league goals in his first term in Naples and followed it with 18 goals (14 in Serie A, four in Europa League) in his second year.
