Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain have all been reported to be in the mix for Napoli standout Victor Osimhen. However, a Saudi Arabian side look to make the swoop and take the striker out of Europe.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported this past week that Osimhen’s future will be determined in the coming days as the summer transfer window closes—whether he ends up at PSG, Chelsea, Saudi Arabia, or elsewhere.
As for another Premier League club, Corriere dello Sport recently reported Arsenal are willing to return with a bid close to the new €100 million plus bonuses asking price.
On Sunday, Romano provided the latest regarding Osimhen’s future and notes that Al Ahli have made an initial offer to Napoli for Osimhen, with a package worth over €65 million.
Moreover, the reporting also reveals that Napoli is open to selling, but there’s no agreement between Osimhen and Al Ahli at the moment. The deal is still far off for the goal-scorer, as he is considering his options and isn’t interested in a loan move.

Since transferring from Ligue 1’s LOSC Lille to Napoli, the Nigerian international has netted 76 goals in 133 appearances, including 65 goals in Serie A. Osimhen was also pivotal in securing Napoli’s league title in the 2022-23 season.
