From Saudi Arabia comes a report that Al-Hilal have offered to pay Napoli’s striker Victor Osimhen a whopping £1m per week if he accepts to join the club.
The total is said to worth up to €140m as per the entire offer for their proposed deal for the Nigerian international who was the highest goalscorer in Italy last season.
Osimhen is valued at €150m (£128.8m) by Napoli but the club president had said they are willing to consider offers “we could not refuse” as contract extension talks stall in an ongoing deal staying till 2025.
The Super Eagles hitman scored 26 times in Serie A last term as Napoli won the title for the first time in 33 years.
Al Hilal Rejected Bid For Mbappe
The Saudi Pro League club have already had a bid of €300m (£259m) for Paris St-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe accepted this summer – although the player declined to meet with them – and also tried to sign Lionel Messi before he moved to Inter Miami.
Osimhen, aged 24, was a transfer target for Manchester United and other English Premier League top clubs this summer.
Ruben Neves from Wolves, Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio have all signed for Al Hilal this summer.
