JAKARTA The commotion between Victor Osimhen and Napoli is said to be beneficial for clubs from the Saudi Pro League if both parties decide to separate ways in 2024.

The Nigerian international has confirmed himself to be the legendary figure in the city of Naples after bringing I Partenopei to the Serie A title for the 2022-2023 season.

26 goals from 32 appearances in Italy's top caste saw him score 59 goals in three seasons at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, which led Osimhen to be heavily linked to other clubs in the summer.

However, the 24-year-old remains, in part because no club has fulfilled Napoli's assessment, but his remaining contract of less than two years leaves his future in the long term in doubt.

Osimhen's future is increasingly doubtful earlier this week following the circulation of a video on Napoli's official TikTok account which was deemed insulting the former Lille player. Although Osimhen still strengthened Napoli and scored a goal when he beat Udinese, he is claimed to have not received an official apology from the club.

Reported by the Daily Mail, Saudi Arabian clubs will be at the forefront if the transfer competition takes place in January or after. Saudi Pro League clubs are believed to have no difficulties meeting Napoli's high-price demands.

The report added that Real Madrid and Chelsea are also continuing to monitor Osimhen's future development, which earlier this season has scored four goals in seven games. Los Blancos will look for a new forward next summer with Kylian Mbappe looking likely to move to Bernabeu on a free transfer.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will judge their choice depends on a variety of factors, including whether Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja have performed well enough in the final third of the pitch until the end of the season. Of course it's interesting to wait for the end of the match between Victor Osimhen and Napoli.
