How the Osimhen, Al-Ahli, Chelsea transfer saga unfolded on deadline day
The Victor Osimhen transfer saga was a wild ride on deadline day! Here’s how it all went down:
Osimhen, the Nigerian striker, was looking to leave Napoli, and Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Al Ahli were all interested
. However, despite Chelsea’s efforts, they couldn’t agree on terms with Osimhen, and he’s staying at Napoli for now ¹. But here’s the twist – Al Ahli couldn’t register both Osimhen and Ivan Toney due to foreign player limits, so they chose Toney instead.
Osimhen’s situation is still uncertain, as he’s not part of Napoli’s first-team squad under new manager Antonio Conte. The Saudi Arabian transfer window is still open, so there’s a slim chance of a late move. The whole saga showcases the complexities of modern football transfers, with player ambitions, club finances, and emerging Saudi Arabian football influences at play.
