Osimhen will earn wages around the region of £646k per week after tax if he agree to move to Saudi Arabia
Napoli have reportedly accepted a £67.3 million (€80m) offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli to sign Victor Osimhen.
According to SkySports, the Nigerian striker will earn wages in the region of £646,000 per week tax free on a four-year contract worth around £33.6 million (€40m) a season.
The English sports news outlet added that Osimhen will head to Saudi Arabia for medicals on Friday.
However, Fabrizio Romano, an Italian journalist, said while Napoli has accepted the bid, Osimhen is yet to decide on the move.

He added that Osimhen is still negotiating with Chelsea FC, and the striker will only consider the Al Ahli option should the talk with the London club break down.
Chelsea have been heavily linked with Osimhen Chelsea since the transfer window opened. The club aimed to acquire the 25-year-old on loan with an obligation to buy.
The Blues’ negotiation with Osimhen has stalled over a wage agreement as the striker’s initial demand did not fit into the club’s new wage structure.

Over the last months, Osimhen’s relationship with the leadership had broken down irredeemably, leading to the striker tendering a transfer request.
Antonio Conte, Napoli’s new manager, constantly communicated that his plan for the team does not include Osimhen and poached Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.
