Osimhen signs new Napoli contract

Victor Osimhen has officially signed his new contract with Napoli to June 2026, announced president Aurelio De Laurentiis.

The patron had already hinted at the deal last night when telling TG1 it could be "the surprise gift under the Christmas tree" for his fans.

According to reports including Sky Sport Italia, Fabrizio Romano and more, Osimhen will increase his salary to €10 million per season after tax.

There will also be the inclusion of a release clause, believed to be set at €120-130 million, valid only for clubs outside of Italy during the summer.

Napoli paid €75 million plus bonuses to sign Osimhen from Lille in September 2020 and he helped them win the Scudetto, becoming the first ever African Capocannoniere of Serie A and African Player of the Year.

Dimarco signs new long-term contract with Inter

Inter Milano have officially announced the contract renewal of Federico Dimarco, who has extended his stay at the club to June 2027.

The Italian is a product of the Nerazzurri's youth system and bounced around various clubs on loan before becoming a core part of Simone Inzaghi's squad in the 2021-2022 campaign.

He has grown into one of the best left-backs in Serie A and has recently attracted attention from Newcastle United and Chelsea.

Dimarco has continued featuring regularly this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 5 assists across 21 appearances this term, seeing 1325 minutes of action.

As confirmed today, Dimarco has now signed a new contract with Inter, tying him to the club until June 2027, an extension of one year compared to his prior deal.

Pogba shocked by 4-year suspension for doping

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba says he is "sad, shocked and heartbroken" after being banned from football for 4 years for a doping offence.

The France international, 30-year-old, was provisionally suspended in September after a drugs test found elevated levels of testosterone in his system.

"Everything I have built in my professional career has been taken away from me", he said in a statement.

The former Manchester United player added he would appeal.

Pogba was randomly tested after Juventus' first match of the season on 20 August.

The positive test was confirmed by Italy's national anti-doping tribunal (Nado) in a second sample in October, and the anti-doping prosecutor's office requested a 4-year suspension.

Juventus told the BBC they received notification from the anti-doping tribunal on Thursday morning.

Pogba said he believed the verdict was "incorrect" and he would "never knowingly or deliberately" dope.

"When I am free of legal restrictions, the full story will become clear", he said, adding he would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

"As a professional athlete I would never do anything to enhance my performance by using banned substances and have never disrespected or cheated fellow athletes and supporters of any of the teams I have played for, or against."

The ruling means 2018 World Cup winner Pogba will be unable to play until 2027, when he will be 34, with the ban backdated to the date of the failed test.
