Nigerian Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has turned down a move to join Chelsea Football Club.
According to Skysport in Italy, the Nigerian forward would prefer a move to join Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli in a four-year deal with his former employers; Napoli expected to earn £67.3m (€80m) plus add-ons for the Nigeria international.
Osimhen had reportedly agreed to join Chelsea on a €350,000 weekly pay, taking a major step closer to realising his dream Premier League move, but latest news regarding the Chelsea target suggest that Osimhen has chosen to ply his trade in the Saudi Pro League.
Earlier in the week, the striker was reported to have turned down a €70m move to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli, with his agent Roberto Calenda insisting the Napoli star still has unfinished business in European football.
This development comes amid heightened transfer speculation surrounding the Napoli star, who has drawn interest from several top clubs across Europe and the Middle East.
Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the 25-year-old and his agent outrightly rejected the Saudi move citing salary and release clause issues.
