Victor Osimhen rejects Saudi's Al Hilal (6 bids) : Case closed. He said NO again

The original post by

discusses Victor Osimhen's potential transfer to Al Hilal, highlighting a €1 million weekly salary offer and cultural factors like proximity to Mecca, though Osimhen is Christian. The Saudi Pro League gains from such high-profile signings, but sportswashing concerns arise due to human rights issues. Some argue the move could hinder Osimhen's career at 26, while others see it as a lucrative opportunity.

I have ignored this thread for a good reason . . . and of course, I am enjoying the weeping and wailing of the towncriers. . . . but I had to laugh at the highlighted. To be fair, Salah moved to Rome some years back to be close to the Vatican.

He has been earning approximately 1 million a Month for the last 3 years and people are trying to tell us they are paying him peanuts. In this day and age with so many opportunities open that amount is enough to make him "made for life", he just needs to invest wisely. That being said, why is Saudi the best option? Firstly, he would kill his career prematurely and secondly, I am not too sure that it is the best solution for his little daughter, money is not everything. I am yet to see a player in his prime with that amount of talent going to Saudi, why?

You're absolutely right. It seems clear that Osimhen's agent is using the Saudi offer as strategic leverage, a smart move that puts pressure on top European clubs to meet Napoli’s valuation. At the same time, it signals that Osimhen’s camp has serious alternatives.

Osimhen has consistently shown that he's motivated by more than just money. He strikes me as an ambitious player, driven by the pursuit of a lasting legacy. A move to the Premier League where the spotlight is more intense would be a better platform for him to etch his name into football history. The Saudi league might be an option down the line, but for now, I want to believe that Osimhen appears focused on competing with the very best.

Osimhen does NOT have an agent.

". . . but but but take a pay cut and play for a club I love, even though I have never been to the stadium in my life"

Osimhen does NOT have an agent.

Osimhen briefly operated without an agent during a transitional period between representatives, but he is now represented by George Gardi, a FIFA licensed agent. Gardi played a key role in overseeing Osimhen’s loan move to Galatasaray and has been actively involved in managing transfer speculations, including those linking the striker to Saudi clubs.

Osimhen should be the HIGHEST paid player in ANY league he chooses to play in.

PERIODT!

You weak-minded natives should stop projecting your inferiority complex on him.
There hasn't been any league he has gone to that he hasn't dominated.

If the EPL clubs want him, they should pay him what he deserves. And that includes breaking whatever phantom wage structure they have.

Yes, he is worth it!

Thank you! If EPL does not pony up, Osimhen does not have to kow tow to them or bow. Simply move on. He just has to do what is best for HIM.

As in.. I dey vex when I hear some of the nonsense that folks here are posting about him settling for a paycut.. in a league where Rashford and Bruno Fernandes net more than he is asking for.. The level of disrespect they have shown this boy dey make my blood boil....

Manchester United are making serious efforts to sign Osimhen

I hope they back their "serious effort" with providing him a salary that is in the neighborhood of what other strikers performing at his level earn

You guys are funny. Osimhen will NOT be accepting neighborhoods. He will accept what he has asked for - and thats final!

Only thing missing from the above is an emoji of nkpokiti dancers to complete the ridiculousness of the statement.

SMDH @ Nigerians...

[kalani JR]

nah people wey hunger dey catch dey push for victor to go to Saudi. As if Victor will send them peanuts via whatsapp abi IG .
Osimhen has the chance to continue to make money after he retires if he chooses football over some petrol $$$$

Stay in Europe, play at the highest level for the next 5 seasons, Go to Saudi in your 30s. Any player who moves to a weak league at their prime is a loser

The sight of Tijani Babangida begging Ajax for support should be a cautionary story.

Yes, it’s disappointing for we fans, but I cannot knock a guy that is always one injury away from catastrophe from setting himself up for life. If Saudi is offering 2x what Europe is offering for a 3 year deal, he should take the deal.

I for one am stunned Chelsea/Man U/Arsenal didn’t bite…but would have no problem paying 70m pounds for Rasmus Bloody Hojlund

Babangida played in Saudi Arabia btw

The odds on Osimhen joining Manchester United has increased according to transfermarket.de

Man! I wish Victor did not miss 1 month of the season.

[Bigpokey24]

12 more days until the early transfer window closing. Saudi Arabia stay away

Bruno Fernandes family not convinced to come in Saudi Arabia!
Despite the fact Al Hilal’s building a strong team with the imminent arrivals of Simone Inzaghi (expected in Paris within the next two days), Victor Osimhen (also expected in the French capital soon), and Theo Hernandez, who is close to a personal agreement with the Saudis…
🫢 The lack of commitment from the Fernandes camp is slowing down the deal. Al Hilal needs Fernandes before the Club World Cup & ready to offer everything to the #MUFC midfielder to prevent him from resisting the SPL’s astronomical allure. #mercato

not everyone likes to run down money, except Nigerians and their prosperity sermons and churches
