The last hours of the transfer window left one striker on his way to Saudi Arabia and another at home and unable to leave. Ivan Toney has signed for Al-Ahli, who also wanted Victor Osimhen, who is staying at Napoli and not moving to Chelsea.

Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen, Al-Ahli and Chelsea. There were four protagonists for a double domino effect move that ultimately did not happen in the final hours of the summer transfer window.

Toney and Osimhen were destined to go one to Al-Ahli and the other to Chelsea. The Blues were to choose first and the Saudis second, but in the end, the English side did not sign either of them.

In this situation, Al-Ahli had Ivan Toney medically examined in London and opted for the Brentford striker, for whom they paid 42 million euros.

This meant that Victor Osimhen, who was waiting for the latest offer from Al-Ahli to secure his services, has finally stayed with Napoli, who are without him and have signed Romelu Lukaku.

The Neapolitans have decided not to register their forward in Serie A, so he will not play a single game until he leaves the club.
