Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has once again rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal, making it clear that his future lies in European football. The Napoli frontman reportedly turned down a second mega-deal from the Middle Eastern club, the same offer he spurned last summer, despite its staggering salary package.
Osimhen’s decision has reignited transfer buzz across Europe, with Turkish champions Galatasaray now pushing to renew his contract while a major Serie A club is rumored to be preparing a formal approach. The Nigerian star recently celebrated a sensational goal for Galatasaray in their Turkish Super League clash against Kayserispor, fueling speculation about a potential long-term stay in Istanbul.

Victor Osimhen’s continued rejection of Saudi Arabia’s riches sends a strong message about his ambitions to compete at the highest level in Europe. As the summer transfer window heats up, all eyes are now on whether Galatasaray can lock him down or if a blockbuster Serie A return is on the horizon.
