‘Victor Osimhen offer set to be turned down’

Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol believes Al Hilal’s €140m (£120.3m) offer for Victor Osimhen is going to be turned down because Napoli have always wanted more cash for the Nigerian international.

“I think Al Hilal’s €140m (£120.3m) offer for Victor Osimhen is going to be turned down because Napoli have always said they want at least €150m (£128.8m).

“He’s in talks with Napoli about extending his contract but Napoli have made it clear that, if someone makes an offer they cannot refuse, then they are willing to sell him.

🚨 CONFIRMED: Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal have submitted an offer worth around €140m for Napoli's Victor Osimhen.

💰 The Nigerian could be set to earn N50billion per year if he takes the deal.

“Al Hilal are offering Osimhen something like £1m per week in wages and that would be tax-free.

“Al Hilal are a gift to football transfer reporters because they’ve been making bids left, right and centre. They made bids for Lionel Messi. They made a world-record bid for Kylian Mbappe. We were told they made a bid for Harry Kane. They were making bids for Aleksandar Mitrovic.

“They’ve been very active. Some of their deals have worked out but they’ve missed out on a lot of players as well.

“If they want Osimhen they’re going to have to offer a little bit more.”
