Khaled Al-Issa, the director of Saudi Arabia's Al Ahly, confirmed that his club had made attempts to sign Viktor Osimhen and Vinicius Junior.
- We had a desire to sign a winger like Vinicius. However, during the negotiations with the Brazilian, our striker Firas Al-Buraikan decided to leave the team. Our transfer focus shifted. Then we started negotiations with Ivan Toni and Viktor Osimgen. It all ended with Tony joining the club," Khaled Al Issa said.
