Victor Osimhen is reportedly considering joining Al-Ahli, who have offered him a higher salary than Chelsea, so, evidently, the Nigerian ace must choose his priority.
Only a few days ago, Victor Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, demanded ‘respect’ for his client as Napoli were ready to sell their star striker to Al-Ahli for around €70m.
Calenda insisted that his client wanted to continue playing in Europe, and Osimhen has now been offered a chance to do so by Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea.
Osimhen must choose priority amid Chelsea and Al-Ahli offers
The latest report from Gazzetta dello Sport claims that the Blues are ready to match Al-Ahli’s €70m bid, but their salary offer for the Nigeria international is not as good as Al-Ahli’s.
For this reason, both Gazzetta and Sky Sport claim that Osimhen is considering the Saudi proposal.
At this stage and with only a few days left before the end of the summer transfer window, it is evident that Osimhen must choose between his ambition to continue competing in Europe or pick the Saudi Pro League instead, earning more money but playing in a less exciting league.
Napoli have already found a replacement for the 25-year-old as Romelu Lukaku arrived on Wednesday morning to undergo medical tests and complete a €30m transfer from Chelsea.
