Al Hilal Jacks Up Osimhen’s Offer To Whooping N89b Annual Salary
LAGOS JUNE 16TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Al-Hilal are reportedly prepared to offer Victor Osimhen a staggering €50m (about N89 billion) per season salary to join them from Napoli.
Last week, Osimhen turned down what was already a huge wage offer of €30m (about 54 billion) per season. This was after Al-Hilal had already agreed to activate the release clause in his contract worth €75m, as the Partenopei are not prepared to lower their expectations.
There was a time constraint then, as Al-Hilal wanted the striker to be part of their group for the Club World Cup. Now that deadline has passed, Simone Inzaghi’s team are still trying to bring in Osimhen over the summer and believe they can convince him.
According to Turkish transfer pundit Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, the latest proposal on the way to the Nigerian’s entourage is worth an astonishing €50m per season.
Napoli simply want him off the books after his loan experience with Galatasaray, but clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea are looking at other targets first
Juventus remain interested, but Napoli would only sell Osimhen to them as a last resort, not wanting to reinforce a direct Serie A rival.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray are reportedly “optimistic” of signing Osimhen on a permanent deal this summer, despite competition from seven European heavyweights.
The 26-year-old striker spent last season on loan at Galatasaray and after scoring 37 goals in 41 appearances for the club, they are eager to finalise an agreement to sign him on a permanent contract.
In fact, the Turkish giants have submitted a net annual salary offer of between €15-20 million, according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.
Galatasaray are said to be “optimistic” of landing Osimhen this summer, however they are yet to finalise a payment structure with Napoli. Antonio Conte’s side are eager for Osimhen’s €75 million release clause to be paid in as few instalments as possible and this remains a sizable issue for Galatasaray.
Despite Galatasaray’s desire to land Osimhen, they are set to face significant competition for his signature this summer.
That is according to TEAMtalk reporter Rudy Galetti, who claimed that AC Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea, Juventus, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are all keeping close tabs on Osimhen’s situation ahead of a possible bid.
He is viewed as a suitable replacement for Rasmus Hojlund, who is wanted by Inter Milan, although his wage demands are currently a major stumbling block.
Furthermore, TEAMtalk has stated that Osimhen wants to join a club competing in next season’s Champions League, meaning Man United face an uphill battle to finalise a deal for his signature following their failure to qualify for any European competition.
