Napoli star Victor Osimhen is set for a "shock" move to the Saudi Pro League, despite being linked with a switch to Chelsea for quite some time now.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says the Nigeria international could be heading to Al-Ahli in a deal worth around €65 million.

The deal between the two clubs is "almost done, pending small details".

The 24-year-old is determined to get a massive salary, and that his contract would contain a release clause.

Osimhen's deal with Napoli is set to expire in 2026.
