Chelsea look set to miss out on signing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen after a transfer offer from Al Ahli.
The Blues have identified the 25-year-old as their top striker target, but they have been unable to negotiate personal terms.
The striker is eyeing wages of around £275,000 per week, but the Blues are reluctant to pay him more than £150,000 per week.
As a result, Osimhen is considering a move to the Saudi Pro League.
Al Ahli have made a formal bid of £62 million to Napoli and they are willing to hand the striker a salary of £500,000 per week.
The club have also accepted Osimhen's demand for a release clause, and it appears a matter of time before he joins the Saudi giants.
The move would be a huge blow for the Blues, who have been in constant negotiations with his agent to finalise personal terms.
Osimhen has been reluctant to accept a lower wage despite the best efforts of the west London outfit over the past few weeks.
