Napoli Striker Weighs Up Chelsea Dream Against ‘Indecent’ Saudi Offer – Juventus Ready to Pounce”
Victor Osimhen finds himself at a career crossroads as Europe’s elite and Saudi Arabia’s wealthiest clubs engage in a high-stakes bidding war for his signature. The Nigerian striker, fresh from a loan spell at Galatasaray, has become one of the most sought-after talents this summer – with his next move likely to reshape the transfer market.
The Chelsea Conundrum
While the 25-year-old has long dreamed of leading Chelsea’s attack, his €295,000-per-week wage demands have stalled negotiations with the London club. “Victor wants his value recognized,” a source close to the player revealed. “After years of proving himself, he won’t settle for less than top-tier compensation.”
Juventus Make Their Move
Enter Juventus, who are prepared to shatter their transfer record with an €85 million bid – despite Osimhen’s €75 million release clause not applying to Serie A rivals. The Turin giants see the powerful forward as the perfect replacement for the inconsistent Dusan Vlahovic and are reportedly willing to meet his salary expectations.
But just as the Italian club appeared to gain momentum, Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal dropped a bombshell offer that’s changed the game entirely.
Saudi’s “Indecent” Proposal
Italian publication Corriere dello Sport describes Al-Hilal’s €30-35 million annual package as “indecent” – more than double what Osimhen requested from European suitors. Sources indicate the Nigerian is “seriously considering” the Middle Eastern option, which would make him one of the world’s highest-paid footballers overnight.
Clock is Ticking
With all parties eager to resolve the situation before the Club World Cup kicks off next month, Napoli are pushing for a quick resolution after last summer’s prolonged transfer saga disrupted their preparations. Should Osimhen reject both European options, Juventus have identified Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman as a €60 million alternative.
As negotiations reach their critical phase, Osimhen’s decision will send shockwaves through the transfer market. Will he chase Premier League glory, revive Juventus’ Scudetto hopes, or accept Saudi Arabia’s life-changing offer? One thing’s certain – this saga is coming to a head faster than anyone anticipated.
