Chelsea Face Setback in Pursuit of Osimhen Loan Deal
Al-Ahli Threatens to Hijack Chelsea's Late Attempt
Saudi Club Secures Agreement with Napoli
Reports have emerged that Chelsea's eleventh-hour bid to secure Victor Osimhen on loan has hit a stumbling block. According to sources, Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli has reached an agreement with Osimhen's parent club, Napoli, potentially derailing Chelsea's plans.
Chelsea had hoped to bolster their squad with the Nigerian striker before the January transfer window closes. However, Al-Ahli's substantial financial offer and guarantee of regular playing time have made them frontrunners in the race for Osimhen's services.
If the deal goes through, it would be a significant blow to Chelsea, who have struggled for goals this season. Osimhen's pace, power, and clinical finishing would have been a valuable addition to their attack.
