JUST IN : Osimhen turns down €75m Al Hilal deal
Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has declined a lucrative €75 million transfer offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, despite an agreement reportedly reached between the Gulf side and his parent club, Napoli.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed on his X account Sunday: “Despite agreement between club to club with Napoli for €75m fee, Osimhen says no to the Saudi Pro League club. Galatasaray will insist on signing him with the race now open again.”
Osimhen has enjoyed a stellar loan spell at Turkish giants Galatasaray, netting 37 goals in 41 appearances.

His prolific form has not only driven the club’s on-field success but also earned him widespread admiration from fans. Galatasaray are hopeful they can secure his services on a permanent basis.
Earlier reports indicated that Al Hilal were closing in on the striker after raising their bid to meet Napoli’s asking price, with medical assessments reportedly being scheduled. However, Osimhen’s refusal to join the Saudi Pro League side has thrown the move into doubt.
As of now, the Nigerian international’s next destination remains unclear, with interest from Galatasaray still strong and the transfer race far from over.
