Saudi side Al Hilal have now emerged as favourites ahead of Juventus to sign the Nigerian striker, offering a salary reportedly worth an eye-watering ₦1.3 billion per week.
Juventus face uphill task to sign Osimhen
Juventus are reportedly ready to offer €85 million to convince Napoli to sell, exceeding the €75 million release clause in Osimhen’s contract that only applies to clubs outside Italy.

While the Italian giants are serious contenders, they face stiff competition from Al Hilal, who are not only willing to meet the clause but also offer Osimhen a massive salary worth €35 million per year.
The striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been in spectacular form with 33 goals in 37 matches for the Turkish side.

Osimhen’s form has raised several eyebrows within and outside Europe, and even though English teams are reportedly losing interest, the Super Eagles forward could still seal a big move this summer.
Al Hilal’s monster offer tempts Osimhen
Juventus may be keen, but their financial limitations pale in comparison to what Al Hilal are putting on the table.

Osimhen currently earns €11 million per season, but Al Hilal’s proposal would more than triple that figure, placing him among the highest-paid footballers globally.
This type of financial muscle is difficult for European clubs to match, regardless of prestige or Champions League status and could be the deciding factor for where Osimhen eventually ends up.

With image rights and endorsements likely included, a move to the Saudi club could see Osimhen sitting at the same financial table as some of the world’s biggest players like Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe.
