Nigerian international striker Victor Osimhen has received what sources describe as a "mind-blowing" contract offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, potentially making him one of the highest-paid footballers in the world.
According to reports from Corriere dello Sport, the Saudi Pro League side has presented the 26-year-old with an improved offer worth approximately £34 million per year, totaling close to £140 million over a proposed four-year deal.
The Super Eagles star, who helped Napoli clinch the Serie A title two years ago, spent last season on loan at Turkish giants Galatasaray but is now expected to leave the Italian club permanently this summer.
Previous Rejections and Current Situation
This isn't the first approach from Al Hilal, as Osimhen has previously turned down several offers from the Saudi club. However, the significantly improved terms of this latest proposal might prove more difficult to resist.
Osimhen currently has a release clause of approximately £64 million in his Napoli contract, making the financial aspects of any potential transfer relatively straightforward for interested clubs willing to meet that valuation.
While the Saudi offer represents an enormous financial opportunity, Osimhen is reportedly still considering multiple options for his next career move, with several European clubs also showing interest in securing his services.
The situation has created significant anticipation among football fans, particularly in Nigeria, as one of the country's premier footballers weighs up a potentially life-changing contract against other sporting considerations.
Galatasaray has also expressed interest in retaining Osimhen on a permanent basis following his loan spell, with club chief Hatipoğlu recently stating that the Nigerian striker remains their priority target.
Should Osimhen accept the Saudi offer, he would join a growing list of high-profile players who have made the move to the rapidly developing Saudi Pro League in recent years.
