Saudi giants Jeddah National have made significant progress in their battle to sign Napoli striker Victor Osmeen, according to a new report by GiveMeSport's Ben Jacobs. After several rounds of positive contacts and negotiations, Jeddah National are reportedly optimistic of successfully bringing in the Nigerian international striker. The source of this optimism is partly attributed to the personal involvement of Jeddah National's sporting director, Emmanuel Emenalo, who is also a former Nigerian international, and who, utilizing his special connection with the player, is working hard to push the heavyweight deal through.
In order to attract Osmeen to join the club, Jeddah National have significantly increased their contract offer, the total value of the four-year contract is now more than 150 million euros, with a release clause, which fully demonstrates the club's determination and sincerity to sign the top striker. In the face of such an attractive offer, Osmeen and his team will undoubtedly need to make some in-depth considerations and trade-offs.
However, on the other hand, Premier League giants Chelsea have not given up on their pursuit of Osmeen, but they are currently sticking to their wage structure and are not willing to break it for Osmeen. This stance makes Chelsea face certain challenges in transfer negotiations, especially when other clubs such as Jeddah National are willing to offer a more generous deal.
It is worth noting that both Chelsea and Jeddah National are actively pressuring Osmeen to make a decision as soon as possible to avoid the rush and uncertainty before the transfer window closes. It's a tough choice for Osmeen, who will need to consider a number of factors, including the club's strength, treatment, development prospects and personal career plans, in order to make a decision that best serves his interests.
