Napoli Star Victor Osimhen has rejected Chelsea to join this shocking club for £70 million
The transfer window is rapidly closing, and Victor Osimhen’s future hangs in the balance as the FIFA Club World Cup looms. The Nigerian international’s impressive loan spell with Galatasaray, where he netted 37 goals, has made him a coveted target. However, Chelsea’s interest in signing him appears to be waning due to concerns over his potential wage demands. This development could potentially pave the way for Osimhen to join a rival team vying for the lucrative £97m prize.
A Twist in the Tale: Al-Hilal’s Interest
In a surprising turn of events, Saudi Pro League team Al-Hilal has reportedly informed Napoli, Osimhen’s parent club, that they are willing to meet the €75m (£63m) asking price for the striker’s transfer. This comes after initial reports suggested that Al-Hilal’s offer fell short of the asking price by €5m (£4m). The Saudi club’s determination to secure Osimhen’s services is evident, with them going as far as booking a medical examination in Paris, despite awaiting the player’s personal agreement to the deal.
Osimhen’s Whereabouts
Meanwhile, Osimhen has traveled to Nigeria instead of heading to Paris for the medical examination. This development adds another layer of complexity to the transfer saga, leaving many wondering what the future holds for the talented striker. With the transfer window rapidly closing, it remains to be seen whether Osimhen will join Al-Hilal or explore other options [21].
