Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has been presented with a highly lucrative offer from Al Ahli, a deal that is reportedly valued at an impressive £25 million (€30 million) per year, according to a report from Sky Sport.
If Osimhen accepts the proposal, the four-year contract would make him one of the highest-paid players globally, with the Nigerian forward earning approximately £480,000 per week. This eye-watering sum highlights the significant interest from the Saudi Pro League in securing his services, as the league continues to attract top talent from around the world.
Currently, Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, is set to meet with Al Ahli’s sporting director to discuss the potential transfer. Despite ongoing interest from Chelsea, who have been linked with Osimhen in recent weeks, the Saudi club appears determined to pull off this major signing before the transfer window closes.
Should Osimhen agree to the personal terms proposed by Al Ahli, the next step would involve the Saudi club negotiating a transfer fee with Napoli, his current club. The transfer window for the Saudi Pro League closes on September 2, giving both clubs a limited timeframe to finalize and execute the deal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea continues to express their interest in acquiring Osimhen, with talks reportedly still ongoing. However, any potential agreement with the Premier League club would need to align with their existing wage structure, which may pose a challenge given the substantial offer from Al Ahli.
As the transfer deadline looms, all eyes will be on Osimhen's decision, which could significantly impact his career and the transfer strategies of the involved clubs.
