VICTOR Osimhen is holding out for a potential transfer to Arsenal or Manchester United, and this led to his decision to turn down a huge offer from Al Hilal, according to reports.
The Super Eagles striker, who is still under contract at Napoli, reportedly rejected a staggering €45 million per season deal from Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal on Sunday, which would have made him one of the world’s top earners.
According to Tuttosport, Osimhen remains on Juventus’ radar, but the Nigeria international rejected the chance to join Simone Inzaghi’s Al Hilal also because he was aware of interest from Arsenal and Manchester United.
Both English Premier League clubs are in the market for a new centre forward this summer, with Osimhen being seriously considered.
Along with Osimhen, Sporting Lisbon star Victor Gyokeres is also on the agenda of Arsenal, Manchester United and Juventus, as well as Al-Hilal, who are still actively searching for a striker.
Al Hilal were believed to have ended their pursuit of Osimhen on Sunday, with Galatasaray also pushing for the 26-year-old Nigeria international.
Osimhen impressed on loan at Galatasaray, registering 37 goals and six assists in 41 appearances as they won the Turkish Super Lig and Turkish Cup double.
