Italian Journalist names shocking transfer destination for Osimhen

Victor Osimhen's transfer speculation continues to be a topic of ongoing discussion with interesting twists and turns as the days go by.

The 25-year-old Super Eagles striker has been courted by top European clubs following his impressive performance last season, where he helped Napoli win their first Scudetto title in 33 years.

With 78 goals and 18 assists in 132 appearances, Osimhen has become a hot commodity, with Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United rumored to be interested in his services.

Other reports have linked the former Lille striker to Paris Saint-Germain as possible replacement for French star Kylian Mbappe who is set to join Real Madrid next season.

Napoli is demanding a hefty €120 million for their most prized asset, a sum some of the player's top suitors deem enormous.

Recent reports have linked the reigning African Player of the Year to a rather surprising destination in the summer.

As reported by Punch NG, Italian journalist Valter De Maggio has claimed that the Nigerian striker could be moving to the Saudi Pro League, where the clubs can afford his release clause.

"Osimhen wants the Premier League. If the offer doesn’t come, then he would consider the Arab one. There is no club paying the clause today. Osimhen would like Arsenal; otherwise, he would consider Saudi Arabia," De Maggio claimed.

Osimhen netted 17 goals in 32 games across all competitions for Napoli this season.
