In the past 12 months, the Nigerian international Victor Osimhen has been mentioned by several major clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea.
If the interest of the Premier League for the attacker was strangely concretized by a concrete offer this summer, Galatasaray, where he spent last season on loan, and the Saudi pro League appeared as his probable destinations.
Victor Osimhen far from the Premier League
Al-Hilal seems to have won the race for the striker, journalist Gianluca Di Marzio who announced that he had accepted an offer from the club. Earlier Friday, it was announced that contractual negotiations had failed, Osimhen requesting an annual salary of 40 million euros to reach the Saudi club.
But there remains a last obstacle to overcome before the transfer is formalized.
Al-Hilal has still not reached the amount requested by Naples
Al-Hilal has not yet reached an agreement with Naples concerning the amount of the player's transfer.
The Saudi club has offered 70 million euros for the moment, but the champion of Serie A, crowned the best team of Italy during the loan of Osimhen in Galatasaray, demands 75 million euros.
Naples has already been uncompromising in the transfer market, especially with the 26 -year -old last summer, resistant to pressure to sell his prolific attacker.
A year ago, the Antonio Conte team required more than 120 million euros to conclude an agreement and it is unlikely to fold this summer.
