Napoli reject Al Hilal’s offer to sign Victor Osimhen
In a different context, press reports revealed that Napoli rejected the Italian offer of Al-Hilal to contract with Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, after the Saudi team offered Osimhen a salary equivalent to one million pounds per week.
Sky Sport reported that Al Hilal’s €140m offer for Victor Osimhen would be rejected because Napoli have always said they want at least €150m.
The report added that the player is currently in negotiations with Napoli over renewing his contract but Napoli made it clear that if a club made an offer that they could not refuse, then Napoli would be willing to sell him.
