Victor Osimhen not tempted by Saudi Arabia
Victor Osimhen still refuses to entertain any interest from the Saudi Pro League. The Nigerian striker has turned down a meeting with Al-Hilal officials, despite the Saudi club's renewed efforts to negotiate.
Previously approached by Al-Ahli last year without success, the former Lille and Wolfsburg forward remains deaf to the Saudi Pro League’s advances. This stance holds firm even after a formal offer was recently submitted to Napoli by the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finalists.
But Osimhen appears to have other plans for his future: staying in Istanbul. Loaned out to Galatasaray this season, the Super Eagle has become a key figure for the Istanbul giants. Galatasaray, eager to keep hold of their star, are reportedly ready to break the Turkish transfer record to meet Napoli's demands, according to Sky Sport Italia.
The 26-year-old, who was Serie A’s top scorer in the 2022/2023 season, is coming off a sensational campaign with 37 goals and 8 assists in 41 matches. His performances played a pivotal role in Galatasaray’s historic league and cup double triumph.
