Nigerians on various social media platforms are advising Victor Osimhen to seriously consider accepting the highly lucrative €1 million-per-week deal from Saudi Arabian team Al Hilal.
The consensus among many is that this offer has the potential to be a life-changing opportunity, and thus, Osimhen should take inspiration from his fellow Super Eagles teammate, Odion Ighalo, who previously made a similar move to Hilal.
If the Nigerian striker agrees to join the Saudi Pro League side, he could potentially earn a staggering €52 million annually.
According to Sky Sports, Hilal has also put forward a substantial €140 million as a transfer fee to Napoli.
However, reports from Italian outlet Il Mattino suggest that both Osimhen and Napoli have rejected the offer on the table.
It’s worth noting that the Italian club, Napoli, who are open to cashing in on Osimhen, are reportedly holding out for a fee of €150 million.
Al Hilal’s pursuit of Osimhen comes after their unsuccessful attempt to secure the services of Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe.

In as much as I love to see Osinmeh dominate European football the more, I will be selfish to say he should turn down an offer that will pay him Billions of Naira a month!
He should follow the money for now… that’s what’s good for him.
