Victor Osimhen still expected to leave Napoli: PL remains preferred destination for Super Eagles ace

Super Eagles striker and African Footballer of the Year, Victor Osimhen, is expected to depart dethroned Serie A champions Napoli this summer.

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the 25-year-old Nigerian sensation has his sights set on a new adventure, with the Premier League seemingly his preferred destination.

However, the highly sought-after striker does not lack suitors outside of the Premier League, as a Pulse Sports report suggests.

Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with a move for Osimhen, as they look to restructure their attack following the departure of Kylian Mbappe.

But the Nigerian's next destination remains shrouded in mystery, as Napoli awaits concrete offers from potential suitors.

In a related development, it appears that the only club currently ready to meet Napoli's staggering transfer fee for Osimhen is in the Saudi Pro League.

According to another Pulse Sports report, Al Ahli are considered to be in pole position to secure the signature of the Super Eagles star, despite the long-standing interest from the Premier League.

Napoli have reportedly set a €120m (£101m) release clause for Osimhen, and Al-Ahli seem willing to meet their demands.

The Saudi club would be looking to close the gap between them and the top two in the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal (the champions) and Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr, after finishing behind the duo last season.

This potential move would come as a surprise to many, as Osimhen has been heavily linked with a switch to the Premier League, with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United all said to be interested in his services.

However, the lure of a lucrative contract and the opportunity to play a key role in Al Ahli's push for the Saudi Pro League title could be too tempting for the Nigerian striker to turn down.

But the future of Victor Osimhen remains a topic of intense speculation, with the Premier League and now the Saudi Pro League both vying for his signature.
