Nigerian strikerVictor Osimhenis reportedly weighing offers from Saudi Arabian clubs afterParis Saint-Germain (PSG)expressed reluctance to meet his release clause fee set by Napoli.

PSG is unwilling to pay the €130 million release clause demanded by Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, who remains firm on not letting Osimhen go for anything less.

With the proposed move to PSG in doubt, Osimhen is now considering a potential switch to Saudi Arabia.

PSGs inability to offload either Goncalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani to accommodate Osimhen has further complicated the situation.

This uncertainty has also sparked renewed interest from Premier League clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United in the Super Eagles star.

Saudi Arabian clubs Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal are poised to make another move forOsimhen, who remains keen to leave Serie A this summer. Despite his preference to stay in Europe and previous rejections of offers from Saudi clubs, the current impasse with European clubs might push Osimhen towards the Middle East.

According to Tutto Napoli, Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal are set to submit new bids to sign the 25-year-old striker.

Osimhen? I dont know if this story will be resolved soon, Napoli certainly wont be able to get the money for the clause because the price is set by the buyer, said Marolda, as per Tutto Napoli. If the player wants to go to PSG, well have to wait a little longer, unless the player accepts Saudi Arabia.

The clubs are hostages of the buyer and the players.

If sealed, the deal could see Osimhen become Africas highest-paid footballer.(BusinessDay)
