Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has a huge decision to make this summer despite at least two hefty financial offers

Victor Osimhen's future is once again the subject of heated debate, as Turkish champions Galatasaray and Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal go head-to-head in a fierce battle for his signature.

While both clubs are offering massive deals, the financial gap between their proposals could play a major role in determining where the Nigerian superstar lands next.

Galatasaray push to keep Osimhen with record-breaking contract

Galatasaray, who currently have Victor Osimhen on loan from Napoli, are doing everything they can to keep the striker in Istanbul.

Victor Osimhen scored 37 goals for Galatasaray this season.

The Turkish giants are reportedly ready to trigger a transfer fee between €60–65 million, just shy of his €75 million release clause, and are offering the 25-year-old a four-year contract worth €15 million net per season.

In naira, that equates to around ₦27 billion annually, which would make him the highest-paid player in Galatasaray’s history.

Osimhen has been electric in Turkey, scoring 26 goals in just 30 Super Lig appearances and helping Galatasaray secure a domestic double. His comfort in the city appears genuine too, with reports claiming he is consulting financial advisors to buy property in Istanbul.

Al Hilal’s monster offer for Osimhen

However, Galatasaray’s generous bid still pales in comparison to Al Hilal’s eye-watering offer for the Nigerian superstar.

The Saudi Pro League powerhouse is reportedly willing to pay Osimhen a jaw-dropping €40 million per year, more than double what Galatasaray is offering.

That’s roughly ₦72 billion annually, a sum that could easily shift the striker’s priorities from football glory to financial security.
