Before the transfer deadline, Osimhen was set to stay with Napoli after his move to Chelsea fell through

Posted by

The anticipated transfer of Victor Osimhen from Napoli to Chelsea has fallen through.

Even though Al Ahli are quite interested in the 26-year-old, rumours have it that he could be heading to the Blues instead.

But the Premier League and Osimhen could not come to terms.

The future of the Nigerian striker is uncertain now that Antonio Conte has benched him in Naples.

To spearhead his attack this year, Conte has also enlisted the help of Romelu Lukaku.

After Monday, September 2, the Saudi Arabian transfer window will close, so Osimhen’s chances of leaving Italy are slim.

Al Ahli is prepared to pay Napoli €75–80 million for Osimhen.

Along with that, they’ve extended a four-year contract to the athlete, guaranteeing him a tax-free weekly salary of £646,154 and an annual salary of almost £33.6 million (€40 million).
