Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia is apparently preparing a massive bid to recruit Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli, surpassing Chelsea of the Premier League.
The Nigerian striker’s stint at Napoli is presently difficult because of a widely shared TikTok video.
Due to the continuous problem with the club, there have been rumors that the Nigerian international may think about leaving the Italian team in the summer.
Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Saudi Pro League team is prepared to spend £173 million to sign the Nigerian next summer.
The English team Chelsea is keeping an eye on the 24-year-old forward, who is being watched by a number of clubs, including the Middle Eastern team.
Big players like Kalidou Koulibaly, Malcom, Neymar Junior, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic currently make up Al-Hilal’s roster, but they hope to welcome the Nigerian striker to their fold in the summer.
Additionally, according to Sports Mole, reports state that the club is reportedly willing to offer Osimhen a contract worth at least €40 million (£34.67 million) year.
Chelsea may find it challenging to match Al-Hilal’s offer for the Napoli striker’s services and may be eliminated from the competition.
Osimhen: Four possible destinations for Napoli star Victor Osimhen were previously examined by Sports Brief in the event that the Nigerian forward decides to leave Napoli.
It now looks as though Osimhen and SSC Napoli’s once-ideal relationship is about to fall apart. The striker was made fun of in a TikTok video that the defending Serie A winners posted after he missed a penalty in the 0-0 draw with Bologna.
In reaction to the video, Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, stated that he may take Napoli to court. The player has also deleted all club-related images from his Instagram account, according to Eurosport.
