Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen is on the verge of signing with Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli, with a medical scheduled for today.
According to reports from Sky in Italy, final agreements are being ironed out to facilitate the Napoli striker's move.
Osimhen is set to agree to a lucrative four-year deal that will see him earn approximately £33.6 million (€40 million) per season, or around £646,154 per week, tax-free. The contract is also expected to include a release clause, with signatures on the deal anticipated today.
Napoli will receive a transfer fee of £67.3 million (€80 million) plus additional add-ons, marking a significant transfer for the Nigerian international.
Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that all parties involved are now focused on finalizing the remaining details of the transfer, which will see Osimhen start a new chapter in his career with Al Ahli. For both the 25-year-old forward and Napoli, the move to Jeddah offers significant financial advantages.
Victor Osimhen: Chelsea's last-ditch bid vs Al Ahli's allure
Chelsea are refusing to back down in their pursuit of Victor Osimhen.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have submitted a last-minute bid for the striker, though the specifics of the offer remain under wraps. With less than 15 hours before the transfer window closes, Chelsea are pushing to secure Osimhen on a season-long loan with an obligation to purchase at the end.
If the Nigerian forward were to join Chelsea, the deal would likely involve a long-term contract to ensure compliance with UEFA and Premier League financial fair play regulations.
However, with time running out and Al Ahli leading the race, the final decision now rests with Osimhen.
