Victor Osimhen Shuns Al Hilal Move as Galatasaray Enter the Fray 

Victor Osimhen has stunned the transfer market by rejecting a proposed €75 million move to Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal, despite Napoli and the club agreeing terms.

The Nigerian international appears to have ruled out a switch to Saudi Arabia, prioritizing other options amid reported interest from Galatasaray.

While Napoli were prepared to cash in on their star striker, Osimhen has exercised a rare player veto, signaling his preference to remain in Europe or explore alternative projects.

The Turkish giants are now intensifying efforts to sign Osimhen, likely leveraging personal terms and the allure of Champions League football.

Financial feasibility and a potential loan deal with add-ons could sway negotiations.

The transfer race is now wide open. Other European clubs (e.g., PSG, Barcelona, or Premier League teams) may re-enter if Osimhen’s valuation drops, though Napoli’s €75m demand remains a hurdle.

With Osimhen’s future uncertain, the Serie A side might extend their pursuit of alternatives or retain the striker if bids fall short.

**Possible Motivations for Osimhen’s Rejection:**

– Preference for European football over Saudi Arabia.

– Galatasaray’s project or personal terms proving more appealing than Al Hilal’s.

– Desire to stay at Napoli amid fan pressure to remain.

The saga remains fluid, with Osimhen’s representatives likely in talks with multiple suitors. A resolution could emerge within days.
