Osimhen rejects contract offer from Saudi Arabian club
Super Eagles and Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has turned down a move to Saudi Arabian outfit Al Ahli.
The Nigerian striker signed a new contract in December 2023 to leave this summer for the release clause of €130 million, but no offer has come close to that amount.
According to reports on Sunday evening, Al Ahli made an offer of €70 million for Osimhen, which Napoli might consider.
However, football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed on Monday that the 25-year-old has rejected the offer from the Saudi side.
He wrote: “Victor Osimhen is not accepting Al Ahli proposals as he required important salary AND release clause.
“The release clause is crucial or deal will not happen at all, sources confirm.”
Osimhen has been training separately from his Napoli teammates this summer and is expected to move elsewhere before the end of the transfer window.
