Victor Osimhen's Transfer to Saudi Arabia Ruled Out

Victor Osimhen's agent, Roberto Calenda, has dismissed rumors of the Napoli striker moving to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli, which recently made a €70 million offer. Calenda stated that Osimhen, who recently renewed his contract with Napoli until 2027, has 'much to do in Europe' and is not interested in being 'shipped far away'. He emphasized the player's commitment to Napoli and his achievements in European football, including being named African Footballer of the Year and ranking eighth in the Ballon d’Or. Chelsea remains interested in Osimhen, especially after the potential departure of Romelu Lukaku, and is expected to make a move before the transfer window closes. Although Al-Ahli’s offer is substantial, Osimhen appears focused on finding a suitable deal within Europe. The transfer window in Saudi Arabia closes on October 6, while Europe’s ends on August 31, prompting Osimhen to weigh his options carefully.
