Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is yet to decide where he will play next season, as Napoli has rejected a €70 million bid from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, and the player himself is not convinced by the huge salary offer.
Sky Sport reports that Al-Hilal offered Osimhen a contract worth €26 million per season, with bonuses, but the 25-year-old has not accepted the deal. Napoli also turned down the offer, as it did not meet Osimhen’s release clause of €75 million.

Osimhen had a fantastic season while on loan at Galatasaray, scoring 37 goals and providing eight assists in 41 matches. He helped the Turkish club win both the Super Lig and the Turkish Cup, and he was named Player of the Season.
Galatasaray now hopes to sign him permanently or bring him back on loan for another season.
“Victor Osimhen is a good striker and can play for any top club including PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Manchester City. He is worth at least €65 million in salary. Look at what he brings to the table such as goals, power, and speed. Any good club should be going after his signature,” a close source said.
Osimhen’s contract with Napoli runs until June 2026, so he is expected to return to the Serie A champions unless another club makes an acceptable offer.
For now, his future remains uncertain, with several big clubs watching closely.
