Arsenal and Chelsea have reportedly discovered the new price tag for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who was recently named CAF Men's Player of the Year.
The Nigerian's future remained unclear heading into the season but there seems to be a conclusion in sight, with the player expected to sign a new deal.
While Osimhen is set to sign an improved contract after last season's heroics, it doesn't mean he will be in Naples for the long-term.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has now reported that Osimhen's new deal has seen the club insert a release clause of €130million.
Romano stated that the Super Eagles striker has agreed a deal in principle that will run until 2026.
"A big story that broke yesterday is that Victor Osimhen has agreed in principle to sign a new contract with Napoli," Romano told CaughtOffside.
"As you'll all be aware, this has been a big story that has dragged on for some time, but it now seems we are nearing an important conclusion, with Osimhen ready to sign a new deal until 2026, with the inclusion of a release clause.
"As I've previously reported, it never looked likely that Napoli would sell Osimhen in January, and that remains the case, but I think it doesn't necessarily change much in terms of a transfer for summer 2024.
