Victor Osimhen sees two clubs competing to land his services. Al-Alhi on one hand is one step ahead of Chelsea who have still not offered a new salary to the Nigerian striker who should, barring a turnaround, leave Naples.
Victor Osimhen could continue his career in Saudi Arabia. The Napoli striker is closer to the Arabian Peninsula than to the English capital. Indeed, according to information from RMC Sport, Chelsea has not made a new salary offer.
According to our information, some Chelsea leaders are however in Naples this Wednesday evening to change the situation and conclude an agreement with Victor Osimhen.

Chelsea’s slowness could benefit the Saudi club Al-Alhi, which is getting closer to Osimhen. The Blues, however, have still not given up on the idea of signing the former Lille player. Chelsea and its bloated squad have just reduced their wage bill with the departure of Romelu Lukaku to Naples.
PSG is no longer in the race
Once courted by the capital club, especially after Gonçalo Ramos’ injury, PSG abandoned the trail leading to the Nigerian striker. The leaders have not contacted those of Naples again and the trail seems to be at a standstill. The fight is therefore between Al-Alhi and Chelsea and the XXL salary offered by the Saudi club could tip the balance. Al-Ahli is thus offering a 4-year contract with an exit clause for the player and a net salary of 30 million euros.
Victor Osimhen has clearly not yet made his decision, as the Nigerian is still only 25 years old and has shone since his debut in Europe, in the Belgian club Charleroi. The Italian transfer window closes its doors this Friday, August 30 at 11 p.m.
