Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal tabled ₦44 billion to lure Victor Osimhen to the club ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Al Hilal packaged a tax-free weekly wage of £425,000, the same offer reportedly rejected by Osimhen last year.
Meanwhile, Napoli have rejected four bids from Galatasaray despite matching Osimhen's €75 million release clause. The Super Eagles star accepted Galatasaray's three-year contract worth €16 million per season, and the Turkish champions immediately entered talks with Napoli.
The Lions’ first two bids, worth €55 million and €60 million, were swiftly rejected as the Neapolitans were unwilling to accept any offer below their €75 million release clause.
Galatasaray eventually agreed to match the release clause, but in five instalments, which Napoli yet again rejected, and the Turkish club prepared a new offer, per Punch.
Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has been told to become a gubernatorial candidate for Edo State in the future.
In a post on X, the fan wants the Nigerian international to accept the enticing offer from Al Hilal for 3 years and channel it into politics. The fan wrote: "If I’m Victor Osimhen, I’d go to Saudi Arabia and collect that ridiculous salary from Al-Hilal for 3yrs.
Then come back to Nigeria to be a contender for Edo State’s gubernatorial candidate!"
If I’m Victor Osimhen - I’d go to Saudi Arabia and collect that ridiculous salary from Al-Hilal for 3yrs. Then come back to Nigeria to be a contender for Edo State’s gubernatorial candidate!
