Victor Osimhen has reportedly turned down a big-money move to Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal, despite an agreement between Napoli and the Saudi club for a €75 million transfer fee.
The Nigerian striker, who spent the recently concluded season on loan at Galatasaray, is believed to have no interest in joining the Saudi Pro League at this point in his career. Osimhen played a vital role in Galatasaray’s successful campaign, helping them clinch the Turkish Süper Lig title and reestablishing himself as one of Europe’s elite forwards.
Although Napoli and Al Hilal had agreed on the terms of a permanent deal, Osimhen’s refusal to make the switch has shifted the spotlight back to Galatasaray. The Turkish champions are now keen to retain the Nigerian international permanently, especially with the transfer race now reopened.
With his future uncertain and top clubs likely to circle, Galatasaray are expected to push hard to keep Osimhen in Istanbul.
