The summer transfer window will be closed. Victor Osimhen (25, SSC Napoli) failed to join any other team. 토토사이트
British media outlet “Sky Sports” reporter Gianluca Di Margio said on the 30th (local time), “Oshimen’s transfer to Chelsea and Al Ahli has been canceled. He will stay in Naples,” adding, “Oshimen is expected to be excluded from the first-team squad.”
“Originally, Osimhen agreed to a four-year contract worth 40 million euros (about 59.2 billion won) per year with Al Ahli. However, at the end of the negotiations, the deal collapsed as Napoli demanded an additional 5 million euros (about 7.4 billion won) for Al Ahli,” he said. “Chelsea failed to reach an agreement in individual negotiations.”
Some predicted the possibility of achieving a “dream two-top” with Romelu Lukaku as long as he remains in Naples, but for now, there is a high possibility of relegation from the second division. “It is a utopian idea for Osimen to rejoin the team of Napoli coach Antonio Conte,” Di Margio said, adding, “He is already living separately from the team.”
Osimhen’s transfer this summer was nothing short of a fait accompli. In fact, Chelsea, Al Ahli and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have expressed serious interest in Osimhen. Osimhen also wanted to prove himself by moving to a big club.
It was too much of a weekly wage that stopped him. Osimhen reportedly demanded at least 500,000 pounds (879.22 million won). No matter how urgent the striker is, the amount was enough to express objection. PSG pulled out its feet early, and Chelsea showed lukewarm response, too.
In the end, he decided to move to Al Ahli without hesitation. However, Napoli’s incomprehensible behavior put the brakes on their move this time. As the two teams reached an agreement, they demanded additional transfer fees. As Al Ahli was close to recruiting Ivan Toney (Brentford), he did not have to listen to his stories one by one.
At this point, with more than two years left on his contract, Osimen’s future is still uncertain. He can bend his will in January next year and push for a transfer once again. One thing is for sure, however, that he will not be able to play for at least four months. Attention is also drawn to what attitude Osimen will take after his career hit hard.
