Al Hilal Bid €140M for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen As Nigerian Striker Offered £1M per Week

• Victor Osimhen has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia as Al-Hilal are offering €140m to Napoli
• The Nigerian international will also earn one million pounds per week if the deal pulls through
• There has been a stand-off between the player’s representatives and Napoli officials over a contract renewal

Saudi club Al-Hilal are set to offer a staggering €140m (£120.3m) to Napoli for the transfer of Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen.

Reports suggest Napoli want nothing less than €150m (£128.8m) before considering any form of negotiation for the 24-year-old striker.

It was gathered that the former Lille of France forward will earn a massive one million pounds per week if the deal pulls through.

Osimhen topped the Serie A goals chart last season, scoring 26 goals to lead Napoli to the Scudetto for the first time in more than three decades.

Sky Italy claims that an initial meeting between Napoli and the player’s agent failed to find a resolution on extending his deal, which runs until the summer of 2025.

Last month, Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis was asked about the progress of a new contract for Osimhen.

He said, via Sky Sports:

"We have a basic agreement on a two-year extension, but [we are] willing to consider an offer we could not refuse."

Osimhen spotted in Paris

Meanwhile, Osimhen could be on his way out of Napoli this summer, and two destinations have emerged, including being an alternative for Kylian Mbappe in Saudi Arabia.

There is a standoff in contract extension negotiations after the club insisted on inserting a release clause of £173m in his new deal, which might scare off potential suitors.

The Nigerian was spotted in Paris, which has fuelled rumours of a move to PSG, even though it is believed the trip is not transfer related.

Napoli coach Garcia speaks

Sports Brief earlier reported that Napoli head coach, Rudi Garcia has weighed in on the possibility of seeing Victor Osimhen leave the club this summer, but admits the player is calm amidst the rumours.

Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille in 2021 for a world-record fee for an African player and helped the club to their first Italian Serie A title in 33 years last season.

New boss Garcia, who replaced title-winning manager Luciano Spalletti, met the Nigerian for the first time last week when he returned from his holiday in Lagos and is already privy to his situation.
