Sky Sports News confirmed the deal on its live broadcast show in the early hours of Friday, August 30, 2024, which is also the final day of the 2024 summer transfer window. According to reports, Victor Osimhen agreed on a four-year deal with Al-Ahli with Napoli expected to receive a sum of £80 million plus add-ons inclusive.
Recall that the transfer saga started when Antonio Conte confirmed to the forward player and the board at Napoli that he does not want to work with Victor Osimhen but rather with Romelu Lukaku who he has worked with in the past while at Inter Milan. There were a few clubs interested in signing the Nigerian but the wage structure was a major stumbling block for any team that showed interest.
