In a surprising turn of events, Al Ahli’s management is preparing to travel to Italy to make a compelling case for the signature of Nigerian star striker Victor Osimhen. This move signals the Saudi Pro League’s ongoing ambition to attract top European talents, further fueling the already heated summer transfer window.
Chelsea Remain in the Race for Osimhen
While Al Ahli’s interest is strong, Chelsea remains very much in the running for Osimhen’s signature. The Blues have been in active discussions with the Nigerian striker over personal terms and salary, indicating that they are determined to bring him to Stamford Bridge. The ongoing negotiations highlight Chelsea’s need for a top-tier forward to bolster their attacking options for the new season.
Al Ahli’s Offer Hinges on Chelsea’s Outcome
Al Ahli’s chances of landing Osimhen appear to hinge on whether Chelsea can finalize terms with the player and his agent. If Chelsea fails to reach an agreement, the door may open for Al Ahli to step in with their lucrative offer. The Saudi club’s determination to secure Osimhen underscores their intent to compete on the global stage, challenging traditional European powerhouses for marquee signings.
Napoli’s Stance: Open to Both Solutions
Napoli, Osimhen’s current club, remains open to both potential outcomes. Whether Osimhen heads to the Premier League or makes a high-profile move to Saudi Arabia, Napoli’s priority is to find a suitable deal that benefits the club financially. Despite the speculation, one thing is clear: Napoli is willing to part ways with their star striker if the right offer comes along.
PSG Out of the Picture
Paris Saint-Germain, once considered a potential destination for Osimhen, are now definitively out of the race. Despite their financial clout and need for a striker, PSG’s focus seems to have shifted elsewhere, leaving the competition primarily between Chelsea and Al Ahli.
A Transfer Saga on the Brink
The race for Victor Osimhen is heating up, with Chelsea and Al Ahli vying for his signature. Al Ahli’s management is set to make a bold move by traveling to Italy, hoping to convince both Napoli and Osimhen to consider their offer. However, Chelsea’s ongoing negotiations could still see the Nigerian striker donning the famous blue jersey in the Premier League. As Napoli remains open to all possibilities, the coming days will be crucial in determining where Osimhen will ply his trade next season.
