Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen has reportedly turned down a lucrative €75m offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
According to reports, the deal had been agreed upon between Al Hilal and Osimhen’s former club, Napoli, but the striker has declined the opportunity to join the Saudi Pro League side.
A post by sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, on Sunday, said, “Nigerian striker has turned down the latests proposal with Al Hilal already in €75m agreement with Napoli. Galatasaray will insist to sign Osimhen while race’s becoming open again to club keen… and Al Hilal will assess what to do next to give Inzaghi a new striker.
This development surely revives Galatasaray’s hopes of signing Osimhen, who had an impressive loan spell with the Turkish club, scoring 37 goals in 41 appearances. The club is reportedly keen on retaining him and will likely pursue negotiations to secure his signature.
The future of the talented striker remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: Osimhen’s decision to reject Al Hilal’s offer has reopened the door for Galatasaray to sign him.
