Saudi club Al Ahli have made an official offer of €65 million for Napoli’s star striker, Victor Osimhen. This move follows a previous attempt by the Saudi Arabia Professional Football League club to secure the Nigerian international’s signature last summer.

Osimhen, who has been training separately from his Napoli teammates during the summer, is widely expected to leave the Italian club before the transfer window closes. In addition to Al Ahli’s bid, Premier League side Chelsea have also shown interest in the prolific forward.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on X that Al Ahli’s bid exceeds €65 million, though no agreement has yet been reached between Osimhen and the Saudi club. Romano further noted that negotiations are still ongoing, as Osimhen is exploring his options and is not currently open to a loan move.
