Victor Osimhen Nears Move to Al Ahli Amid Chelsea’s Last-Minute Efforts

Napoli’s star striker Victor Osimhen is on the verge of joining Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli. Despite Chelsea’s late bid to secure the Nigerian forward, Al Ahli has reportedly reached a total agreement with Napoli, offering a substantial package that includes a transfer fee of around £67 million plus add-ons.

Osimhen, who has been a top target for several European clubs this summer, including Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, is said to have been offered a lucrative four-year contract worth approximately £600,000 per week. This offer has seemingly outmatched Chelsea’s proposal, leaving the Premier League club scrambling to make a last-ditch effort to sign the prolific striker.

The 25-year-old forward has been a key player for Napoli, scoring 76 goals in 133 appearances and finishing as the top scorer in Serie A two seasons ago. His potential move to Al Ahli marks a significant shift in his career, as he prepares to join the growing list of high-profile players moving to the Saudi Professional League.

While Chelsea remains hopeful of turning the tide, the financial power of Al Ahli appears to have given them the upper hand in this transfer saga. The final decision now rests with Osimhen, who must weigh his options carefully as the transfer deadline approaches.
