Tempting offer from Al Hilal for Osimhen: the Nigerian makes his choice!

In a move that speaks volumes about his sporting ambition, Victor Osimhen has turned down a massive offer from Saudi club Al Hilal, opting instead to continue his career in Europe. This was reported on Sunday by the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

Victor Osimhen rejects Saudi Arabia to stay in Europe

The Riyadh club had pulled out all the stops: a three-year contract, renewable, with an annual salary of €40 million, for a total package estimated at €160 million.
But despite this staggering offer, the Super Eagles striker declined, staying true to his goal of remaining at the pinnacle of European football.

Turkish giants Galatasaray are hoping to capitalize on this decision. According to the same source, the Istanbul club's management are ready to offer him an annual salary of €16 million, a significant increase from his current wages at Napoli (€12 million).

On loan at Galatasaray last season, Osimhen was a sensation: 45 goal contributions (goals + assists) in 41 matches. Having become the club’s main attacking weapon, he's eager to return—this time on a permanent transfer.

Galatasaray are believed to have submitted an offer between €50 and €60 million, while Napoli are demanding the full release clause set at €75 million.
