In a surprising turn of events, Napoli has reached a total agreement with Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli for the transfer of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. The deal is reportedly worth between €75 million to €80 million, including add-ons, and represents one of the most significant moves in the current transfer window.
Al Ahli, who have been aggressively bolstering their squad this summer, have already booked a medical for the 24-year-old forward. Should the transfer go through, Osimhen would sign a four-year contract with Al Ahli, earning a staggering €25 million to €30 million per season net, making him one of the highest-paid footballers in the world.
As part of the agreement, the contract also includes a release clause, though specific details on the figure have not been disclosed. This would give Osimhen some control over his future, should he wish to explore new opportunities after his stint in Saudi Arabia.
The final decision now rests with Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian international, who was instrumental in Napoli’s Serie A triumph last season, has been the subject of intense transfer speculation throughout the summer. While many expected him to remain in Europe, the lucrative offer from Al Ahli could be too tempting to pass up.
Fans and pundits alike are now waiting eagerly to see if Osimhen will give the final green light to what could be a landmark move in his career.
