Osimhen : Saudi’s Al-Ahli table new N52.9b per-annum deal

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly considering a new offer from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, despite recent advances from Premier League outfit Chelsea.

According to reports from Sky Sport Italia, Al-Ahli have presented a second offer to the Nigerian centre-forward. Gianluca Di Marzio claimed that the Saudi Pro League outfit are willing to offer Osimhen a four-year contract worth €30m (about N52,969,243,890.00) in wages per season.

Reports over the weekend suggested that Al-Ahli were prepared to offer Napoli €70m to sign Osimhen, almost half of the €130m release clause in his contract.

The player and his agent are now evaluating the offer and considering their best steps. Napoli remain adamant that they will close a sale before the end of the transfer window later this week.

Despite this new development, both Chelsea and PSG remain interested in securing Osimhen’s services. Chelsea, in particular, has ramped up their efforts in recent hours and is reportedly preparing to submit an offer to Napoli before the transfer window closes on Friday.

Napoli, for their part, are hopeful of finalizing the deal with Al-Ahli. However, the final decision rests with Osimhen and his representatives, who are carefully evaluating all offers without ruling out any options.

A source close to the negotiations stated: “Osimhen and his agent will assess all offers and every situation without precluding anyone. The player is now open to the possibility of moving to Saudi Arabia, but Chelsea and PSG’s interest adds an interesting dynamic to the situation.”
