‘This is the current plan’ - Fabrizio reveals Al Ahli's final transfer decision between Osimhen and Toney
The battle to sign Toney and Osimhen continues to heat up as the transfer window closes in the next couple of hours.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Al Ahli are close to agreeing a deal with Napoli for Osimhen after presenting their offer.
However, the Saudi Arabian side have now made their final decision on picking either Osimhen or Toney.
Al Ahli’s transfer decision
Al Ahli have made their final decision between Osimhen and Toney and have decided to complete a move for the Brentford striker.
According to Fabrizio on X, “Understand Al Ahli will ONLY sign ONE between Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney. This is the current plan.
“Chelsea are still working in the background for Victor Osimhen in case he doesn’t give the final green light to Al Ahli.”

Toney’s move to Al Ahli is only subjected to medicals, which he is expected to complete in the next few hours.
The Saudi Arabian side agreed to a fee worth £40 million with Brentford a few hours before the closing of the transfer window.
With the England international’s deal close to completion, the door for Osimhen to move to Chelsea is still open.
The Blues are negotiating a loan deal with Napoli for Osimhen and have reportedly agreed a €350,000 weekly wages with the Nigerian.
