Caicedo: You missed where he said that Osimhen's management have four months to get a club for him. That is because the summer window is over but the winter window opens in four months time. |

🔵👀 Maresca on striker not joining in the final days: “We want players, but we wanted a player that we decide it has to be on our conditions. If a player is not here then it was not”. “New striker in January? We will see”.

Why did Victor Osimhen renew his contract I've seen many people say Victor made a mistake renewing his contract with Napoli. While I understand the stance, I don't think it is correct cause it lacks context. I'll try to do a timeline of events leading to the contract extension and why I think Victor renewed his contract. Before I do, it's important to note that doing business with Napoli and ADL has historically been very difficult. Because of this most clubs will rather look elsewhere than deal with him. The only leverage you can have as a player going to Napoli is to include an exit clause before singing, but Victor obviously couldn't do that at the time he signed for them. Kim min Jae for instance was able to leave easily because he had an exit clause in his contract. Summer of 2023 After winning the Seria A, Napoli received numerous offers from clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia to sign Victor, ADL put a €200M price tag on Victor and was reported to say "only PSG could afford to buy him". One thing was clear, ADL's hope was for Victor to spend at least one more year in Naples before considering any offer for him. Immediately the season ended, Napoli was working on extending Victor's contract because he had just 2 years left on his contract and he was expected to leave 2024, meaning he'll have just one year left on his contract which puts Napoli in a bad negotiating position as clubs usually aren't willing to pay overboard for a player with one year left on his contract. Beginning of the season The season begins, and Napoli were still trying to convince Victor to sign a contract extension. It was obvious he wasn't willing to. Then in September of 2023 internal battles began. The Tiktok drama started and it trended worldwide. Victor's agent threatened to sue, Victor removed everything Napoli related from his socials. While I openly disagreed with some of the decisions Victor took at the time, I wasn't oblivious to what was happening. This was a micro aggressive tactic by Napoli for get Victor to sign an extension. Many things were happening behind the scenes to get that outcome. Then in December 2023, Victor signed an extension for one more year. Why did Victor sign an extension 1. Gratitude: this isn't new really as many players do this even when they know they would leave. For a club like Napoli where he's spent 4 years and Naples that had become home, signing a new contract to give them leverage to negotiate a better deal while also including a salary increase and a release clause to somewhat protect himself wasn't a bad idea on paper. 2. Many things were happening behind the scenes in Naples to get Victor to sign an extension. The club were visibly becoming hostile and fans were being manipulated to turn on him. The Tiktok scandal amongst other things and Victor and his agent's reaction didn't happen by mistake. The Mbappe Parallel Someone tried to draw a parallel with Mbappe to make a ridiculous point not knowing Mbappe did exactly the same thing Victor did but being a french player and of course a bigger player he could get away with somethings Victor could. In 2022, Mbappe was a free agent and there were reports he would move to Spain for free being a free agent. The PSG ownership however prevailed on him and even used the President of France to persuade Kilian so sign a contract extension. Mbappe signed an extension and he was given a wage that made him the highest earning player in Europe. Mbappe signed a 2+1 year contract with 2 years guaranteed and a one year possible extension. He however had promised the owner of PSG he wasn't going to leave PSG for free. But Mbappe had other plans and informed PSG months to the end of his contract he wasn't signing an extension. He in literal sense played on their intelligence to have his way. He could do that because he was a King in France and quite frankly didn't need to worry about his safety amongst other things. Not even the constant ranting of the Qatari Billionaire could change his mind. Victor obviously couldn't do this. 5 Likes 1 Share |
