Victor Osimhen follows Bruno Fernandes move as he turns down ₦1.5b weekly to hand Man Utd boost
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in recent weeks, but the player has now turned down a mouthwatering offer from Al Hilal.
Osimhen’s release clause of €75 million was triggered by Al Hilal, but despite three lucrative offers, the Nigerian striker has reportedly turned them all down. The latest, a staggering €45 million per year—equating to roughly 1.5 billion naira per week, is life-changing money by any measure. Yet, Osimhen remains unmoved, leaving fans wondering: What does he really want?
Several clubs are in the mix. Manchester United are desperate for a proven striker, while Galatasaray, despite lacking the financial muscle of bigger clubs, share a strong bond with the former Lille man. Juventus, have also been credited with an interest.
His decision to reject Al Hilal’s latest offer has sparked debate: is Osimhen chasing generational wealth or a chance to cement his legacy? If it’s the latter, can he truly build that legacy in Turkey, outside Europe’s top five leagues?
