Al-Hilal Tempts Victor Osimhen with €30M-a-Year Deal Amid European Interest

June 5, 2025 – Saudi club Al-Hilal has made a bold move to sign Napoli’s star striker Victor Osimhen, offering a staggering €30 million per-year contract. The 26-year-old Nigerian, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been a standout performer, scoring 35 goals in 39 matches during the 2024-25 season, including a hat-trick against Antalyaspor and a brace in the Turkish Cup final. Al-Hilal aims to bolster their squad for the 2025 Club World Cup, but the transfer has sparked debate among fans.

Osimhen, the highest-scoring African in Serie A history with 47 goals, has also drawn interest from European giants like Manchester United and Chelsea. His €75 million release clause makes him a viable target, yet opinions are divided. Some fans urge him to join United, while others argue he deserves a Ballon d’Or and should stay in Europe. Former player John Obi Mikel also believes Osimhen’s development would benefit from remaining in a top European league. As Napoli looks to finalize a deal, Osimhen faces a career-defining decision between financial allure and competitive legacy.
