Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli finished last season's league season in third place, but club bosses are eyeing gold medals with the transfers they want to make.
According to Il Mattino, the Saudi Arabian Championship bronze medallists are targeting the signing of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. Al Ahli are not at all concerned about the Nigerian's €120 million clausula.
But if Napoli boss Aurelio De Laurentiis can still get the agreement of the Saudis, the same cannot be said about the striker himself. The terms of his personal contract have not yet been agreed, and in principle Osimhen has not agreed to move to Saudi Arabia. He wants to wait a few more weeks and then make a decision.
It is believed that Osimhen's move to Chelsea or PSG, with whom he was previously linked, is quite seriously hampered as Napoli's owner is unwilling to discount the player.
