Napoli’s striker, Victor Osimhen, has made a bold decision by rejecting a staggering €1 million per week offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
The Nigerian forward had the chance to earn a jaw-dropping €52 million annually if he had accepted the move to the Saudi Pro League team.
Al Hilal’s relentless pursuit of Osimhen is evident as they recently had their second bid of €140 million for the player rejected.
Initially, they offered €130 million, which Napoli also turned down, according to reports from the Italian newspaper Il Mattino.
However, Napoli seems determined to capitalize on Osimhen’s market value and is holding out for a staggering €150 million.
The interest in Osimhen comes after Al Hilal’s unsuccessful attempt to secure the services of Paris Saint-Germain’s superstar, Kylian Mbappe.
Osimhen’s remarkable performance during the last Serie A season, where he finished as the top scorer with 26 goals in 32 games, has earned him attention from several European giants, including Bayern Munich.
It remains to be seen how this transfer saga will unfold as the parties involved continue negotiations.
