In a rapidly developing transfer saga, Chelsea and Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli are currently the only two clubs in active discussions with Napoli over the potential signing of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
Sources close to the negotiations reveal that Al Ahli has already reached an agreement with Napoli on a €65 million package, yet they are still working to convince the player to make the move to Saudi Arabia.
Despite Al Ahli’s efforts, Osimhen’s future remains uncertain as Chelsea continues to monitor the situation closely. The London club is reportedly keen on bringing Osimhen to Stamford Bridge, although no formal bid has been made. Talks are ongoing, but the Premier League side is exploring their options and remains attentive to developments.
Interestingly, this transfer story is separate from the ongoing situation involving Jadon Sancho, who has been linked with a move to Chelsea amid uncertainty about his future at Manchester United. The pursuit of Osimhen stands as a distinct narrative in Chelsea’s transfer plans.
Contrary to recent speculation, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is not in the race for Osimhen’s signature. Despite rumors linking the Ligue 1 giants with the Nigerian forward, no official bid has been made by PSG.
The coming days could prove decisive in determining where Victor Osimhen will play next season, as the summer transfer window nears its conclusion.
Fans and pundits alike will be closely watching to see if Chelsea or Al Ahli can secure the signature of one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers.
