Reports in Italy have revealed the reason Al-Ahli called off the move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

The Nigerian forward was expected to join Al-Ahli in an €80m deal after reaching an agreement with the Saudi side.

However, according to Di Marzio, Napoli have irritated Al-Ahli by requesting €5m extra, so the Saudi club quickly turned to Southampton’s Ivan Toney.

According to the BBC, sources close to the English striker are confident of completing the deal today.

Chelsea remain interested in Osimhen, as Sky Italia reports that the Blues directors are currently in Naples. However, contrary to Al-Ahli, Enzo Maresca’s side don’t have an agreement with the striker.
