Victor Osimhen has officially rejected Al Hilal’s latest offer, turning down €45 million per season to continue his career in Europe.
Victor Osimhen has definitively ruled out a transfer to Al Hilal, becoming the latest high-profile European-based footballer to resist the lucrative pull of Saudi Arabia.
According to Fabrizio Romano and several other transfer insiders, Osimhen has now rejected a fifth formal offer from the Saudi Pro League club. Al Hilal was reportedly offering a staggering €40 million per season, potentially rising to €45 million with bonuses, on a three-year deal.
The Napoli striker, however, remains focused on staying in European football, following in the footsteps of Bruno Fernandes, who also recently turned down a Saudi move in order to compete at the highest level.
With a move to Al Hilal no longer on the table, Osimhen’s next destination is still uncertain. Sources close to the player suggest that his future could lie either with Galatasaray or back in Serie A, where Juventus are reportedly eager to secure his services.
Osimhen, 25, remains one of the most sought-after strikers in the world after his explosive form in recent seasons with Napoli. While the financial rewards in Saudi Arabia are unmatched, the Nigerian forward appears determined to prioritize sporting ambition over a big payday.
