Victor Osimhen Set to Join Saudi Pro League with Huge Contract

The summer transfer window is often characterized by long-drawn-out negotiations, and this year has been no exception, particularly with the case of Victor Osimhen. Linked to top clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and teams in the Premier League, the striker has had to wait until the final days of the window for clarity on his future. Recent reports suggest that he is now set to make a move to Saudi Arabia.

No, the new star at PSG will not be him. After being connected to the Parisian club for a year, Victor Osimhen is on the verge of leaving Napoli, but not to return to Ligue 1. The former LOSC player is expected to join the Saudi Pro League, where a lucrative contract awaits him.

A €160M Contract for Osimhen

According to sources, including Gianluca Di Marzio, Osimhen is poised to sign with Al Ahli in the coming hours. Napoli is reportedly set to receive a transfer fee of around €80M. However, the real windfall is for the player, who has been offered an annual salary of €40M over four years, totaling a staggering €160M! Interestingly, there is also a clause in the contract allowing him to return to Europe, with a buyout set between €70M and €80M, effective from next summer.

No Offer from PSG

As the end of the transfer saga comes into view, new details are emerging about the extensive negotiations that have captivated fans throughout the summer. Reports from Sky Sport Italia confirm that the only clubs to have made an offer for Victor Osimhen this summer were Chelsea and Al Ahli. Notably absent from the bidding was PSG, a fact we highlighted exclusively on July 21. The only scenario in which Osimhen could have joined Paris would have been if either Randal Kolo Muani or Gonçalo Ramos were sold. However, the decision was made to continue backing these two players, both signed just a year ago.
