Napoli is set to increase their valuation of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen to ₦60billion as the race to sign the 23-year-old heats up, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Osimhen is currently one of the hottest prospects in Europe. The former Lille man has been terrific for Napoli this season, with 15 goals and four assists in 25 appearances.

Napoli chief De Laurentiis is prepared to part company with the number 9 in the summer but on one condition, provided interested teams meet the Blues' asking price of 120 million euros (approximately N54.8b in Nigerian currency) is net.

Arsenal and Newcastle wanted to sign him during the last winter transfer window. Also, Real Madrid and Manchester United were in the mix.

The Nigeria national teamer has impressed since returning from injury, netting six goals in nine Serie A appearances in 2022 and as a result his valuation has gone up, twenty million euros more than he was previously valued by Napoli.

Osimhen is back in Naples after he was granted permission to attend to some personal issues following international duty with the Super Eagles late last month and should be available for selection for the upcoming game against Fiorentina.

The 2015 U17 World Cup Golden Boot winner joined Napoli from Lille in exchange for seventy million euros, making him the most expensive African-born player in history.

His contract with the Parthenopeans runs out at the end of the 2024-2025 season.
