Saudi Pro League club ready to trigger Osimhen's release clause but no agreement yet with Napoli striker 

Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli are prepared to meet Victor Osimhen's release clause in its entirety according to a report from II Mattino via Calcio Napoli 1926, making them a serious contender to sign the Napoli striker.

This development comes amid speculations surrounding Osimhen's future at the Serie A club.

The Nigerian forward has emerged as a sought-after talent following his impressive performances in Italy, and Napoli are bracing for a potential transfer battle this summer.a

While Al Ahli's willingness to pay the release clause signifies their strong interest in acquiring Osimhen, a key hurdle remains.

The report highlights that Osimhen has not yet agreed to the transfer. This suggests that personal terms or the sporting project offered by Al Ahli might not have convinced the striker yet.

It remains to be seen if Napoli will accept Al Ahli's offer if presented. The Italian club might be open to a sale if they receive a suitable replacement for Osimhen's attacking prowess.

Osimhen himself will have a significant say in determining his next destination, and his decision could hinge on factors like playing time, Champions League participation, and overall ambition of the interested clubs.

The coming weeks could be crucial in determining Osimhen's future. If Al Ahli manage to convince the player alongside meeting Napoli's financial demands, a transfer could be on the cards.

The 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup winner pulled out of the 2026 Fifa World cup qualifying games against South Africa's Bafana Bafana and Benin Republic's Cheetahs due to injury.
