Osimhen open to Saudi move – Report
Italian publication Tutto Napoli on Wednesday reported that Nigeria international Victor Osimhen was getting fed up with the prolonged negotiation between Napoli and suitors Paris Saint-Germain, with the striker now open to a move to Saudi Arabia.
The report further stated that Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal are set to make another move for the Nigerian, who is eager to have his future sorted out before the start of the season.
Osimhen has emerged as one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe, having been linked with moves to Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Liverpool, among others.
However, his hefty €130m release clause has scared off many suitors, with PSG the only European club still keen on signing him.
Talks between Napoli and PSG have taken another turn, with reports emerging that the Ligue 1 side will have to sell either Gancalo Ramos or Randal Kolo-Muani before proceeding with the signing of the Nigerian striker.
While Osimhen is ready to leave Napoli this summer, the Super Eagles striker’s priority is to remain in Europe and fight for the biggest trophies on the continent.
Osimhen had rejected numerous offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia in the past. Tutto Napoli wrote that the 25-year-old had instructed his entourage to listen to offers from the Middle East.
