Al Hilal are not backing down or giving up on their pursuit of Victor Osimhen, as the Saudi powerhouses are preparing an incredible new salary offer worth €50 million annually for the Nigerian striker.
The Middle Eastern powerhouses are refusing to give up on their ambitious bid to lure the Napoli star to the Saudi Pro League, despite the 26-year-old rejecting their previous approach just 11 days ago.
According to Goal, Al Hilal will make one final effort to prise Osimhen away from Napoli with an astronomical salary offer, which could see the forward pocket up to €50m (£42.6m) per year in Saudi Arabia.
Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano wrote on Monday, “Al Hilal are not giving up on Victor Osimhen as they want to submit new proposal to the player.
“Osimhen rejected 10 days ago but Al Hilal insist… race open as Galatasaray and Premier League clubs are still there, while Juventus called again.”
Osimhen is understood to have turned down a contract proposal worth a reported €30m (£25.5m) per season with Al Hilal, who were hoping to strike a deal before the first summer window closed on June 10 in order to have him in their ranks for the start of the Club World Cup.
While that mission ended in failure, the Middle Eastern powerhouses remain interested in a blockbuster deal and have already informed Napoli of their intentions to pay his €75m (£63.9m) release clause.
