Osimhen rejects Saudi move, holds out for top European clubs

Published on: 26 August 2024

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly holding out for a move to a top European club, despite a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Sky Sport Italia claimed Al Ahli have tabled a €70m bid for the Nigerian international, but Osimhen is unwilling to consider the move.

The 25-year-old has a release clause of €130m in his contract, and is said to be waiting for a late proposal from European giants Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, or Chelsea.

Osimhen's presence at Napoli is currently blocking the club's transfer strategy, with both parties eager to find a solution.

Belgian international Romelu Lukaku is reportedly set to replace Osimhen at Napoli, should he depart.

With the transfer window drawing to a close, Osimhen's future remains uncertain, but it is clear he has his sights set on a move to one of Europe's top clubs.
