Al-Ahli Ready to Seal Deal with Osimhen, Chelsea Explore Alternatives
In a major push to bolster their attacking lineup this summer, Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli are reportedly close to acquiring the services of Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen. The superstars’ potential move was the subject of intense speculation, as talks between the two parties continued on terms that would see Osimhen join the Saudi outfit in a multi-million euro deal.
Recent developments suggest that Al-Ahli are optimistic about securing Osimhen’s signature, having already tendered a bid worth €70m for the Nigerian international. Osimhen, who has been plying his trade with Napoli in Italy, is expected to earn approximately €30m annually on a four-year deal that includes an exit clause.
Further fuelling the rumors were claims from Sky Italy suggesting that Premier League giants Chelsea are increasingly considering alternative options to Osimhen as they look to bolster their roster. One potential target, cited in the report, is Brentford striker Ivan Toney – who may find himself in jeopardy should Al-Ahli close a deal for Osimhen in the coming days.
With the transfer window showing signs of slowing down, Al-Ahli’s pursuit of Osimhen presents a tantalizing prospect – the opportunity to bring one of global football’s most exciting talents to their side. As the negotiations continue to hot up, fans around the world hold their breath in anticipation of what may turn out to be a blockbuster transfer. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as the transfer saga unfolds.
