Not sure I understand that...
That is Chelsea's structure for better or worse and they won't change it for any player whether top level or low level.

Also, where are the other top clubs who are willing to pay him a guaranteed €11,000,000 NET salary per season in Europe?

Saudi was never a viable option for a player like Osimhen. He is using them as leverage to get as much pay as possible in Europe. Anyway, time will tell ... only a few hours to go for an answer.

In a negotiation, the option must have some possibility or you will be DEAD in the water. While Saudi may not be his preferred option, it must offer some possibility in order for him to extract something better from Chelsea.

Maybe because they don't have budget for him with their huge 42 man squad.

Like I said in one of my posts, Osimhen can make the Chelsea move happen if he is willing to take a pay-cut and accept some creative sign-on and bonus add ons. Napoli would be the one to lose out with a reduced transfer fee spread over a number of years, not Osimhen.

Even without the benefit of inside knowledge, it would seem that this has not been an example of stellar management by his agency...

Hmm seems Al Hilal has signed Ivan Toney ? Means Choski is NOW the only option for Vic ? Abi ?

You are 100% correct. Chelsea has no intention of matching his current wages on a guaranteed concept because it goes against the incentive based wage structure the new ownership group implemented shortly (6 months later; by the second transfer window) after they took over.

I mentioned for better or worse because, Chelsea missed out on Ugarte & Olise for those reasons. I don't blame either party (player or Chelsea) based on their respective principles.

If Osimhen decides against an incentive based structure, perhaps he's waiting for PSG or Arsenal or another club next season unless he begs the Saudi's not to complete the Ivan Toney deal (their deadline is around Sep 3rd).

That's not true. It has nothing to do with their "huge 42 man squad" which by the way is down to thirty something given players that were sold and/ or loaned out over the past 24 hrs... Lukaku, Kepa, Washington, Petrovic, etc are already done deals. I am sure I have missed a few more.

Besides, even with the so called bloated squad, Chelsea's average salary per player is much lower (if not the lowest) compared to the top 8 clubs.

Hilal made the right choice. They picked the better striker.
I worry what will happen if Victor goes to Chelsea. I doubt the manager wants him and will be patient with him. Once he goes a game or two without scoring, he will be benched.

Let's see how it plays out.

Would also explain why he is insisting on a release clause in his talks with the Saudis

So you think what Chelsea is doing is considered "pushing hard?"

Osimhen may still remain in Napoli. I hope not. Even though I was hugely disappointed with his outbursts against Finidi, I wish him well and success in this transfer window

Transfer window is always a roller coaster. Me I have made the decision not to get too worked about it. Saudi club can always sell one player to make room for Osimhen. Just because they bought Toney doesn't mean they don't want Osimhen.
