Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen has declined a transfer to Chelsea, favoring a move to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli instead. Italian sports outlet Skysport reports that Osimhen is set to sign a four-year contract with Al Ahli, with his current club, Napoli, expected to receive £67.3 million (€80 million) plus additional incentives for the transfer.
Despite earlier speculation that Osimhen would be heading to the English Premier League with Chelsea on a €350,000 weekly wage, the 25-year-old striker has opted to continue his career in the Saudi Pro League. This decision comes as a surprise to many fans and pundits who anticipated his move to England.
