According to a recent report by Italian journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio, the Saudi club after initially offering a fee between €65 and €70 million for Osimhen, is now preparing an improved offer for both Napoli and the forward.

This move comes after Osimhen reportedly rejected the club’s initial offer. It also appears to be a response to reports from transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, indicating that Chelsea is engaged in ongoing talks with the striker's representatives.

Additionally, the Nigerian forward has been excluded from Napoli’s first-team setup, particularly following the appointment of Antonio Conte as manager.
