Victor Osimhen to stay at Napoli

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen now seems set to stay at the club despite all the attempts from his end to seek an exit.

The Partenopei had inserted a hefty release clause in Osimhenโ€™s deal and no clubs had met him, leading to things coming down to Chelsea and Al-Ahli. None of the clubs could complete the deal, with Chelsea never agreeing terms with the player and the Saudi side failing to agree a fee with Napoli.

RMC Sport now state that the Nigerian will stay at Napoli and Chelsea were offering him a wage of โ‚ฌ155k a week, which wasnโ€™t deemed enough. As a result, he will not leave.

Al-Ahli had an agreement with the player but never with Napoli and it was the other way around with Chelsea, who had offered Napoli a similar fee as the Saudi side. Even two days ago, it was suggested that Chelseaโ€™s offer to the striker was well below his demands.
