Transfer: Osimhen nears Napoli exit, gives two conditions on joining Saudi club

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly considering a move to the Saudi Pro League.

Saudi club, Al Ahli, has submitted a €65million bid for the reigning African Footballer of the Year.

Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reports that the deal between Napoli and Al Ahli is almost done.

However, the 25-year-old is yet to agree to personal terms with the club.

Romano reports that the Nigerian international wants a huge salary and a release clause to be included in the deal.

“The agreement between Napoli and Al Ahli for a package in excess of €65m is almost done, pending small details, Romano wrote on X.

“But NO agreement with Osimhen so far as the Nigerian striker wants an important salary + KEY DETAIL: release clause to be included.”

Osimhen reportedly wants a deal that will allow him play one season in the Saudi Pro League and return to Europe.

According to reports, Chelsea are also considering launching a late bid for the Super Eagles striker.
