Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli is reportedly prepared to activate the €120 million release clause for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, Goal reports.
The Nigerian forward, who was instrumental in Napoli’s Serie A title win in the 2022-23 season, has been a major target for top European clubs. However, the high release clause deterred interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.
Napoli is firm on their asking price, and Al-Ahli is willing to meet it, though Osimhen has yet to agree to the move.

Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille and had a breakout season, scoring 26 goals and providing five assists in 32 games. His departure from Napoli seems likely due to both his form dropping this season and disagreements with the board.
While the financial boost from Osimhen’s transfer would benefit Napoli, it remains uncertain if he is ready to move to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career.
