Breaking News: Chelsea and Al Ahli Compete for Victor Osimhen Amid Paris Saint-Germain’s Absence from Talks
Chelsea and Al Ahli have emerged as the only clubs currently negotiating for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, according to recent reports. Contrary to earlier claims, Paris Saint-Germain is not involved in any discussions regarding the Napoli forward.
Chelsea is actively negotiating with Osimhen and his representatives, with the player reportedly unwilling to accept a salary reduction. Discussions between the two parties continue as Chelsea looks to secure the striker’s signature. Osimhen is a top priority for the club, which has also identified four alternative targets, including Brentford’s Ivan Toney, should the Osimhen deal fall through.
Meanwhile, Al Ahli has already reached a €65 million agreement with Napoli. However, the Saudi club is prepared to push forward with negotiations on the player’s side if Chelsea’s efforts to sign Osimhen fail.
