This is a file that has been returning for 2 years now to the transfer market. After riding on Serie A with Napoli, Victor Osimhen hoped to leave Italy for a new challenge. But with a president like Aurelio de Laurentiis, difficult to live a peaceful transfer window and he had finally remained an increasing season in Italy. This unwanted season, he had been loaned to Galatasaray so as not to lose his value. And his loan was rather very successful.
Author of 37 goals and 8 assists in 41 matches this season, the Nigerian striker proved that he had lost nothing of his sense of goal. What promise him a very agitated new summer. Despite very high wage requirements, the player continues to be largely coveted on the football planet, and especially on the side of Saudi Arabia where al-Hilal was very interested in the past few weeks.
Osimhen wants to take his time
The Saudi club, which missed its season with the loss of the title for the benefit of Al-Ittihad, logically wished to strike hard. In this sense, the club first recruited Simone Inzaghi as coach. And the former inter Milan coach made Osimhen his offensive priority. As proof, Al-Hilal had made a salary offer of 120 million euros over 3 years. The latter was quite impressive but will not have convinced the player.
According to our latest information, the right-hander of 1m86 has, in fact, decided to postpone the offer from Al-Hilal and wishes, today, take its time before choosing its future club. For his part and as we recently revealed to you, Galatasaray did not say his last word. The Turkish club wishes to keep one of the most prolific attackers in Europe and has offered 26 million euros in salary per year. It remains to be seen which choice will be the former Lille.
