How Osimhen Missed Out On Staggering £1m Per Week Contract From Saudi Club
LAGOS AUGUST 9TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Shortly after leading Napoli to the Scudetto at the end of the 2022/2023 season, Saudi club Al Hilal offered a staggering amount to sign Victor Osimhen.
The striker’s 26 league goals had just helped the Partenopei to the Italian title for the first time in more than three decades.
After winning the top scorer award, he was named the Serie A Footballer of the Year and was included in the Serie A Team of the Season.
He won every possible prize and was named the African Footballer of the Year 2023.
Napoli immediately valued the Nigerian international at €150m (£128.8m), amid interest from several top clubs worldwide.
Osimhen misses out on Al Hilal’s £1m per week deal
Last year, Saudi club Al Hilal offered €140m (£120.3m) to Napoli for striker Victor Osimhen, who will then earn wages in the region of £1m per week.
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis wanted more than €150m (£128.8m) to even consider selling a player.
It was gathered that Osimhen was not considering a move to Saudi at the time, as he was linked with Manchester United.
Negotiations with Al Hilal later collapsed, prompting the former Napoli striker to extend his contract, which runs until the summer of 2025.
