Victor Osimhen is on the verge of signing with Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, according to reports from Sky Sports and Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio. The Nigerian striker, currently playing for Napoli, has been the center of a transfer tug-of-war between Al Ahli and Chelsea.
Al Ahli has reportedly offered Osimhen a lucrative deal, promising a staggering €30 million per year on a four-year contract. This offer significantly outpaces Chelsea’s proposal, which is said to be around €10 million per season. The financial power of the Saudi club has made them strong contenders in securing the striker’s move.
While Chelsea has shown strong interest in acquiring Osimhen, they have struggled to compete with the financial terms put forward by Al Ahli. Although Osimhen is rumored to prefer a move to the Premier League, the lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League is hard to ignore.
Osimhen has been a key player for Napoli, helping them achieve success in Serie A. His potential departure comes amid his desire for a new challenge, and the current transfer window has only heightened speculation about his next move.
As the transfer deadline looms, Osimhen’s final decision is eagerly awaited by fans and football analysts, as it could have significant implications for both the Premier League and the Saudi Pro League. The situation is still developing, with more updates expected as negotiations progress.
