VICTOR Osimhen has reportedly rejected a hugely tempting offer from Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, opting to remain in Europe.
Reports on Sunday claimed that the Super Eagles striker rejected a third offer from Al Hilal, believed to be around a staggering €45 million per season.
Meanwhile, Al Hilal had reached agreement with Napoli after offering to pay the Italian club’s €75m release clause for the prolific Nigeria international.
Osimhen is considering offers from clubs across Europe, including Galatasaray, where he spent last season on loan and registered 37 goals and six assists in 41 appearances as they clinched the Turkish Super Lig and Turkish Cup double.
Al Hilal, the biggest and most successful club in Saudi Arabia, were eager to acquire Osimhen in time for the FIFA Club World Cup later in June in the United States of America.
Their first offer to the 26-year-old was €30m per season before they raised it to €35m and Sunday’s €45m.
Apart from Galatasaray, Chelsea and Juventus have been repeatedly linked with Osimhen in recent weeks.
