Victor Osimhen's future continues to take unexpected turns as the summer transfer window nears its conclusion.

The 25-year-old striker, who has dazzled since his arrival in Serie A in 2020, seems increasingly likely to leave Italy this summer.

However, as the window draws to a close, a new report has emerged suggesting that Napoli has agreed to transfer him to a Saudi Pro League club.

Napoli agrees Osimhen's transfer with Saudi club

According to a report courtesy of transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Napoli has received a bid exceeding €65 million from Saudi Pro League club Al Ahli for the Nigerian forward.

The report suggests that Napoli is inclined to accept the offer, but there seems to be a disagreement between Osimhen and the Saudi club regarding the terms.

It is also reported that Osimhen is only interested in leaving Napoli on a permanent transfer rather than a loan deal.

Earlier, Sportsboom reported that Chelsea is unlikely to sign the striker, as they are pursuing a loan move and are far from meeting Osimhen’s salary demands.

Nonetheless, as the summer transfer window approaches its deadline, the situation remains fluid and there seems to be a growing consensus that Osimhen's exit from Napoli is becoming increasingly likely.
