Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly received a staggering contract offer from Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal, as he edges closer to leaving Napoli permanently this summer.
According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, the latest proposal is worth £34 million per year, totaling nearly £140 million over a four-year deal — a sum that would place Osimhen among the highest-paid footballers globally.
A Decision on the Horizon
The 26-year-old Super Eagles forward, who helped Napoli win their first Serie A title in over three decades, appears poised for a big move. Although he spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, his future has been the subject of intense speculation, with interest from top European clubs and now renewed pressure from Saudi Arabia.
Osimhen has previously rejected multiple advances from Al Hilal, but the latest offer may force a reassessment. His release clause at Napoli is reportedly around £64 million, a fee Al Hilal can easily trigger if an agreement is reached.
From Serie A Glory to Uncertain Future
Victor Osimhen has become one of Africa’s most prominent football exports. His combination of pace, physicality, and finishing helped Napoli clinch the 2022/23 Scudetto, earning him both national hero status and international recognition.
Despite his loan move to Galatasaray last season, Osimhen remains a sought-after asset, and his next move could mark a turning point in his career — balancing financial gain with competitive ambition.
With the transfer window now open and clubs across Europe and the Middle East making moves, Osimhen's decision is expected soon. Whether he stays in Europe or takes the lucrative Saudi route, his next step will be closely watched.
