π¨ ππππππππ: Victor Osimhen Deal with Al Hilal on the Verge of Collapse β Galatasaray Enter the Race
In a dramatic turn of events, the much-anticipated move of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal is now on the brink of collapse. Sources close to the negotiation table have confirmed that there is still no agreement between the player and the club, despite weeks of discussions.
Al Hilal had been pushing aggressively for Osimhen, viewing him as the perfect replacement for their aging front line and a marquee signing that could make waves both regionally and internationally. While the Saudi club reportedly agreed on a fee with Napoli in principle, the stumbling block remains personal terms and the player's own hesitation.
β Deal Breakdown β What Went Wrong?
Victor Osimhen has reportedly expressed concerns about the move, particularly regarding the competitiveness of the Saudi Pro League compared to Europeβs top leagues. Despite a lucrative financial package rumored to exceed β¬45 million per year, sources indicate that Osimhen is holding out for either a better project or a return to the UEFA Champions League.
The 25-year-old striker, who had previously attracted interest from Chelsea, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain, is known for being highly selective about his next move. His desire to remain at the highest level of European football appears to have outweighed the financial allure of Saudi Arabia.
Negotiations with Al Hilal have stalled repeatedly, and the playerβs camp is reportedly frustrated with the lack of clarity and long-term project vision being offered.
π Galatasaray Enter the Race
In a surprising development, Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray have emerged as serious contenders for Osimhen's signature. The Istanbul-based club is looking to make a massive statement ahead of the 2025 season and sees Osimhen as a transformational addition to their squad.
According to Turkish media, Galatasaray have already made contact with Osimhenβs representatives and are preparing an ambitious offer. The move would be historic for Turkish football and elevate the SΓΌper Ligβs global profile dramatically. Galatasaray can also offer Champions League football, which could be a key factor in persuading the Nigerian forward.
With Galatasarayβs growing financial backing and hunger to return to Europeβs elite, this could be the bold move Osimhen is waiting for.
