Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli Saudi FC is reportedly preparing a substantial financial package to sign Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu from Trabzonspor in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The 31-year-old has enjoyed a stellar season in the Süper Lig, scoring 18 goals and providing two assists in just 21 league appearances. His impressive form has caught the attention of Al-Ahli, who are now ready to make a move.
Reports suggest Al-Ahli is willing to offer Onuachu an annual salary of €8 million (approximately ₦13 billion). This figure would represent a significant increase on his current wages, making it the most lucrative contract of his career.
Al-Ahli sees Onuachu as a potential replacement for English striker Ivan Toney, who is expected to depart. They believe the Nigerian forward offers a proven goalscoring record and could be available for a transfer fee around €10 million, a sum well within the Saudi club’s financial capabilities.
The potential move highlights the growing trend of Middle Eastern clubs attracting established players from European leagues with lucrative offers. Onuachu now faces a decision between his current success in Turkey and the significant financial security offered by Al-Ahli as he approaches the latter stages of his career.
