The Bees have reportedly accepted the Saudi team’s €42M offer and now the Toney will be heading to Saudi this summer, while the Italian club has reached a full agreement with Al Ahli to sell the striker for €75-80M.

Osimhen will sign a four-year contract with a release clause inserted and earn €25-30M per season. It is a double swoop for the Saudi outfit as both strikers’ additions will turn their attacking team into the most alluring teams in the league.

Osimhen future has been making rounds since the start of the transfer window and after the arrival of Antonio Conte who wanted to sign Romelu Lukaku, it became certain that the Serie A team wanted to sell the Nigerian striker.

Meanwhile, Lukaku successfully completed his move to Napoli this will see Osimhen will now head to Saudi Arabia to complete his transfer. Chelsea have also been in talks with Napoli to sign the player but it looks unlikely they will be able to strike a deal.

Paris Saint-Germain were also interested in signing the striker but they never made an approach to Napoli despite repeated links.

Meanwhile, Toney has already agreed to join the Middle Eastern club and now Brentford have accepted their deal to sell the striker and he will travel to Saudi to complete his medical.

Al Ahli will have two elite attackers on their roster after Osimhen’s deal is finalised, making their offensive group the most formidable one upfront. They are now among the Saudi teams who will contend for the championship this season, along with Al Hilal and Al Nassr, thanks to their acquisitions.

Saudi’s ability to attract many top European teams with their massive contracts has been the key reason to get the deal done quickly.
