Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has turned down a €75m move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal after the club agreed to a deal with Napoli.
Osimhen, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray in the Turkish league from Napoli, is expected to seek a permanent exit away from Italy this summer.
According to football expert Fabrizio Romano, Al-Hilal agreed to a €75m deal on Saturday while waiting for Osimhen to accept their offer, but he rejected the move.
He wrote that X: Victor Osimhen has now rejected Al Hilal’s bid despite the club-to-club deal.
“The Nigerian striker has turned down the latest proposal with Al Hilal, already in a €75m agreement with Napoli. Galatasaray will insist on signing Osimhen while the race becomes open again to clubs keen… And Al Hilal will assess what to do next to give Inzaghi a new striker.”
Osimhen reportedly rejected a mammoth offer of £650,000 per week to join Al Hilal.
The 26-year-old is now expected to remain in Europe, with Galatasaray pushing to sign him permanently after he led them to a domestic double with 37 goals in all competitions.
