Victor Osimhen's future is currently uncertain following failed negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli before the transfer deadline. Napoli had reportedly accepted an €80 million offer from Al Ahli, a Saudi Pro League team, but Osimhen hesitated about leaving European football. This hesitation opened the door for Chelsea to potentially make a move for the 25-year-old striker, a player they have been interested in for some time.
Despite talks intensifying between Chelsea and Napoli on Thursday and Friday, a deal could not be finalized in time. Al Ahli, on the other hand, was also pursuing a deal for Ivan Toney from Brentford. With the Saudi club unable to register both forwards, Osimhen now faces the possibility of waiting for another Middle East club to make a late move, as the Saudi Pro League transfer window closes on September 2.
