According to Italian media outlet Il Mattino, Saudi Arabia's
Jeddah National
The club is ready to contribute 120 million euros to directly activate the release clause of Napoli striker Viktor Osmeen. However, Jeddah National have not yet reached an agreement with the player himself.
Napoli are in talks with Paris Saint-Germain over the transfer of Osmeen, but it's not going well. As a plan B, Napoli are reportedly not prioritizing sending Osmeen to the Premier League, preferring the Saudi side instead. Jeddah National are closely monitoring the situation, but Osmeen has expressed a willingness to wait longer and consider the Saudi offer if there are no other opportunities.
Napoli president De Laurentiis rejected a €140 million offer for Osmeen last year, so it's hard to imagine him discounting other teams this summer, especially with a Saudi side willing to bid €120 million. Osmeen is currently earning a whopping €15 million a year, and his retention would put a huge strain on Napoli's budget.
This transfer fiasco over Osmeen's future continues, and fans will be keeping a close eye on developments in anticipation of seeing the final outcome.
