Aurelio De Laurentiis is a strange bird. If he weren’t, Victor Osimhen would now wear Man United’s or Paris Saint-Germain’s jersey, for example. However, the Napoli president didn’t want to succumb and sell the Nigerian for a smaller amount than he initially had in mind, and that’s why Osimhen will reportedly end up in Saudi Al-Ahli!🚨🇳🇬 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 | Victor Osimhen has already AGREED to join Al Ahli, reports @DiMarzio! ✅Napoli and Al Ahli are just discussing the bonuses and details of the deal. pic.twitter.com/gQmxBYT478— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) August 30, 2024 Of course, the money was crucial in this deal. The forward undoubtedly wanted to join some of the renowned European clubs, but when he heard the amount, even he said yes. Chelsea were near to signing Osimhen, but 40 million euros per season was much more attractive than the Premier League! The source, Gianluca Di Marzio, also claims that the Neapolitans would receive 80 million euros.Even though hanging on a transfer thread, Osimhen and Lookman lead Nigeria in AFCON qualifiersLast season, Al-Ahli came in only third in the race for the Saudi champion trophy, behind Al Nassr and Al Hilal. On the other hand, Osimhen’s only title so far was Serie A with Napoli in the 2022/2023 season. Perhaps this combination will be fruitful and bring more silverware to both the club and the player.Al-Ahli’s initial offer was 65 million to Napoli and 30 million per season to Osimhen – it wasn’t enough. But once the stakes got higher, everything was settled. The 25-year-old Nigerian will join Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez, Edouard Mendy, and Franck Kessie, among others, in Jeddah.##NAJAVA_MECA_8305116##
