Osimhen distances self from Al-Hilal’s offer of N44b annual deal

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly rejected a N44bn annual deal offered by Saudi Arabia’s top-tier football club, Al-Hilal.

Sky Italy reported that Al-Hilal is reportedly willing to offer Victor Osimhen £22 million a year tax-free, with a breakdown of £425,000 a week, which is equivalent to approximately ₦44 billion a year, but the Super Eagles striker seems to have his eyes set on plying his trade in Europe next season.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that the 26-year-old’s potential deal to join Al-Hilal is on the verge of collapse as he couldn’t agree terms with the Saudi club despite not having a future at Napoli.

Although the Turkish giants are pushing to keep Osimhen at the club, they are struggling to meet the €75m release clause that Napoli insist on.

Man United and Chelsea have been in connection with a move for Osimhen but his wages have been major hindrance.
