Victor Osimhen’s transfer saga appears to have reached a breakthrough point as the 25-year-old attacker is set to make the switch to Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli.
Victor Osimhen on verge of Saudi move
This was revealed by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano on X in a post that read, ”Napoli reach total agreement with Al Ahli for Victor Osimhen!
”Club to club deal done for €75/80m total package, Al Ahli have already booked a medical.
”Four year contract worth €25/30m per season net to Osimhen + RELEASE clause. Final green light up to Victor.”
Initially, Osimhen was hesitant to join Al Ahli, but with limited options in the summer transfer market, even Chelsea’s late attempt to secure his signature fell short.
Chelsea’s reluctance to meet his hefty wage demands proved to be a stumbling block.
While PSG never matched Napoli’s asking price, Al Ahli now appears poised to finalise the deal, with the Saudi transfer deadline approaching in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen has yet to play for Napoli this season. With the recent arrival of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea, the Nigerian striker is more likely to depart Napoli before the transfer window closes.
