Italian media outlet Tutto Napoli reported on Wednesday that Victor Osimhen, the Nigeria international, is becoming frustrated with the prolonged negotiations between Napoli and potential suitors Paris Saint-Germain.
The striker is now considering the possibility of a move to Saudi Arabia.
The report also mentioned that Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal are preparing to make another attempt to sign the Nigerian, as he is keen to have his future sorted out before the start of the season.
Osimhen has attracted interest from several top clubs in Europe, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Liverpool.
However, his €130m release clause has deterred many potential suitors, with PSG being the only European club still interested in signing him.
Negotiations between Napoli and PSG have taken a new turn, with reports indicating that the Ligue 1 side will need to offload either Gancalo Ramos or Randal Kolo-Muani before proceeding with the signing of Osimhen.
While Osimhen is prepared to depart Napoli this summer, his priority is to remain in Europe and compete for major trophies on the continent.
Despite previously rejecting offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia, Osimhen has now instructed his representatives to consider offers from the Middle East.
Tutto Napoli's report stated, "Yesterday's slowdown in the negotiations between Victor Osimhen and PSG is sensational: the Napoli striker, tired of waiting for the French to find him a place in the team by selling Kolo Muani or Gonçalo Ramos, winks at Saudi Arabia.
The Nigerian is covered by a €130m release clause that is considered excessive even by the sheikhs of Paris. So the French have tried without success to include their surplus strikers in the talks to unblock the operation."
