Nigeria international, Victor Osimhen is once again the subject of a blockbuster transfer saga.
According to Corriere dello Sport Napoli’s Nigerian striker has received a staggering offer from Al-Hilal: €40 million (£34m/$46m) per year for three years, with an optional fourth, totalling €160 million (£137m/$184m).
This would make Osimhen one of the world’s highest-paid footballers. Napoli is prepared to part ways with the forward if the €75m (£64m/$86m) foreign release clause is triggered.
The Nigerian international’s future remains undecided. While he previously turned down Al-Hilal’s initial approach, the club has reignited talks.
Napoli is eager to finalise a sale to fund their summer rebuild and reduce the wage bill.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray, who claim to have an agreement with Gli Azzurri, is growing frustrated with the delay as its own plans hinge on the striker’s decision.
When asked recently in Nigeria about his next move, Osimhen remained coy while speaking in an interview with a YouTube channel: “At the moment I am focused on the holidays, I am resting. We will see what happens.”
He also participated in a charity match organised by Nigeria teammate, William Troost-Ekong, offering no public comments on his club future.
All parties are now awaiting Osimhen’s decision. Should he accept Saudi giant’s offer, no negotiations will be needed, just a straightforward clause activation.
