Napoli have decided to sell Victor Osimhen to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli, turning down an offer from Chelsea.
Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano reported that the two clubs have agreed on a total deal worth between €75 million and €80 million.
Osimhen is expected to sign a four-year contract with Al Ahli, earning around £33.6 million (€40 million) per season, which is about £646,154 per week, tax-free.
His contract will also include a release clause and Al Ahli has scheduled a medical check-up for Osimhen, indicating he is likely to reject Chelsea’s offer.
Romano announced on X (formerly Twitter) saying, “BREAKING: Napoli reach total agreement with Al Ahli for Victor Osimhen!
“Club to club deal done for €75/80m total package, Al Ahli have already booked a medical.
“Four year contract worth €25/30m per season net to Osimhen + RELEASE clause. Final green light up to Victor.”
This effectively ends Chelsea’s pursuit of the striker, as they were only able to propose a loan deal with a requirement to buy and a reduced salary.
