The French newspaper "L'Équipe" revealed that "Saudi football club Al-Hilal sent two offers to Napoli, the Italian league champions, in recent hours to acquire their Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen." It mentioned that "the first offer from Al-Hilal was €120 million, while the second was €140 million, but the Italian club requested €200 million."
It indicated that "Al-Hilal decided to intensify negotiations in an attempt to bring Osimhen, and discussed with the Nigerian striker before sending the two offers to Napoli in the last hours." The report clarified that "Napoli rejected the two offers and is awaiting a higher amount to agree to sell Osimhen, at the same time hoping the player will extend his contract."
Victor Osimhen has received several offers from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera" reported that "Aurelio De Laurentiis, the president of Napoli, wants to retain Osimhen's services." It added: "De Laurentiis does not want to sell Osimhen this summer and has begun discussions with Calenda, the player's agent, to renew his contract."
The president of Napoli complicates the task for clubs wishing to sign Osimhen, as he has demanded €200 million for the player to leave this summer. The newspaper explained that "Napoli offered Osimhen a net annual salary of €7 million, with a release clause ranging from €100 to €130 million, and that negotiations have already begun between Napoli and Osimhen and are proceeding well between the two parties."
Victor Osimhen played a significant role in Napoli's victory in the Italian football league title, scoring 26 goals in 32 matches, earning him the title of top scorer in "Calcio."
