Al Ahli, a Saudi Arabian club, has agreed to an €80 million fee with Napoli for the transfer of the Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen.
News About Nigeria gathered that the deal, which is set to be finalised in the coming days, will see Osimhen become one of the highest-paid players in the world.
According to football transfer specialist, Fabrizio Romano, the “club-to-club deal done for €75/80m total package.”
Osimhen is likely to sign a four-year contract worth about £33.6 million (€40 million) every season, or £646,154 per week, tax-free.
A release clause will be included in his contract with the Saudi club.
Al Ahli has also scheduled a medical for Osimhen, who is expected to reject a move to Chelsea.
Romano wrote on X: “BREAKING: Napoli reach total agreement with Al Ahli for Victor Osimhen!
“Club to club deal done for €75/80m total package, Al Ahli have already booked a medical. Four year contract worth €25/30m per season net to Osimhen + RELEASE clause. Final green light up to Victor.”
Osimhen’s impressive performances in Serie A have caught the attention of several top clubs, but Al Ahli’s offer proved too good to refuse.
The transfer fee of €80 million is a record for Al Ahli, surpassing their previous highest transfer fee of €60 million.
Osimhen’s move to Al Ahli is expected to be a major coup for the club, who are looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
The Nigerian striker’s pace, skill and goal-scoring ability make him a valuable asset to any team.
The deal is subject to a medical and other formality, but both parties are confident that the transfer will be completed soon.
