The transfer window has seen some big names hitting the transfer markets, and one of the names is Nigeria-born player Victor Osimhen, whose loan spell at Galatasaray is about to end. The Nigerian striker is still under contract with Napoli and was supposed to leave the club last summer with offers from Chelsea and Saudi Arabia clubs were looking to sign the striker, but Victor Osimhen turned down Saudi Arabia offers and was close to joining Chelsea, but an issue on personal terms which was his salary prevented the move to Chelsea from happening last summer.
Chelsea fumbled the signing of Victor Osimhen last summer because I don't understand why they weren't willing to pay Victor Osimhen the same wages he was collecting at Napoli. After all, that is what he asked for during the negotiations with Chelsea. The deal with Chelsea collapsed and Osimhen remained at Napoli, but Conte(Napoli's manager) had already said he didn't Osimhen was not in his plan and this prompted a loan deal to happen with Galatasaray as the Nigeria forward accepted the loan move as Galatasaray agreed to pay the same amount of wage he was receiving at Napoli.
Osimhen did well with Galatasaray in the just concluded season season winning the two trophies with the club. The Nigerian striker was rumoured to be linked with Liverpool during the start of the summer, but there was no concrete evidence to show that Liverpool was interested in signing Osimhen as the rumour went down before it even started. Galatasaray, about two days ago, was looking to negotiate with Napoli to keep Victor Osimhen in the team as they have dropped their offer to Osimhen on personal terms, but the Nigerian striker has not given the green light yet to any club.
Al Hilal's proposal is intact huge on personal terms with Osimhen and offered Napoli 75 million euros to sign Osimhen this summer. Al Hilal are ready to seal the deal as they have even booked a medical test this week once Osimhen gives the green light to the club. Everything is now up to Victor Osimhen to explore his options and choose the one that will be best for him and his family, and honestly, I would prefer he chooses the Al Hilal proposal he has on the table. Osimhen is a top striker, and if some European clubs don't value him because they think the salary he is asking is too much, then he should go to a place that sees his value and is willing to pay even more to have him at the club.
It won't be long as Osimhen will give the green light soon to either Galatasaray or Al Hilal this week so the deal can be sealed. Al Hilal are going to be participating in the FIFA Club World Cup, which Victor Osimhen will participate in if he joins the club. Al Hilal knows the importance of this competition, which is why they are looking to strengthen their squad as soon as possible to compete in the competition. So, guys, that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by, and if any new updates on Victor Osimhen's move come out, I will share them with the community. So once again, thanks and have a good day.
