Serie A club, Napoli have reached an agreement to sell Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen to Saudi Arabian outfit, Al Ahli.
This was disclosed on Friday morning by Italian journalist and football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, who noted that “club to club deal done for €75/80m total package.”
With the agreement in place, Osimhen is set to sign a four-year contract at around £33.6m (€40m) a season – or £646,154 per-week – tax-free.
A release clause is also expected to be inserted into his contract with the Saudi Arabian club.

The deal means Premier League club, Chelsea might miss out on the prolific forward, especially with the transfer market closing on Friday, August 30.
However, despite already booking medical for Osimhen, the decision to close the deal and join Al Ahli still lies with the Nigerian.
Announcing the deal via his official X page, Romano tweeted: “BREAKING: Napoli reach total agreement with Al Ahli for Victor Osimhen!
“Club to club deal done for €75/80m total package, Al Ahli have already booked a medical.
“Four year contract worth €25/30m per season net to Osimhen + RELEASE clause.
“Final green light up to Victor.”
