Monday, June 9, 2025 - Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has rejected a massive €75 million (N135b) offer to join Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
According to a post by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on
his X account, “Despite agreement between club to club with Napoli for €75m
fee, Osimhen says no to the Saudi Pro League club. Galatasaray will insist on
signing him with the race now open again.”
Osimhen has been a key figure during his loan spell at
Galatasaray, scoring 37 goals in 41 appearances. His impressive performances
have made him a fan favorite, and the Turkish club remains hopeful of retaining
him permanently.
Reports indicated that Al Hilal had scheduled a medical for
the Nigerian forward after meeting Napoli’s demands. However, with Osimhen
rejecting the move, his future remains undecided and the race for his signature
is now wide open.
Al-Hilal had been pushing to bring Osimhen to the club in
time for the start of the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which kicks off on June
14.
The Saudi giants, now coached by former Inter tactician
Simone Inzaghi, had also offered an enormous €30m-per-season contract offer to
the 26-year-old, who has since decided to reject the offer.
