Stayed with Napoli
In the summer transfer window, Al-Hilal tried to spend 353 million euros on Neymar &. Co. also to guide Napoli’s star striker Victor Osimhen to Saudi Arabia. What is said to have been a possible transfer fee of 140 million euros after several rejected offers also reached dizzying heights when it came to the salary question for the Nigerian. Osimhen now spoke about this in ex-professional John Obi Mikel’s “Obi One Podcast”.
Osimhen clarified that the reports were true. Shortly before the transfer deadline, the attacker made headlines with the Saudis’ late attempt to poach him, which SSC Napoli put a stop to. Osimhen himself seems to have been pondering the numbers for a long time, but he held his ground. It was a “tremendous decision” he had to make. The former Wolfsburg resident explained: “It was crazy. The more I said no, the higher her offer became.”

Osimhen confessed that the offer changed his life. “They never gave up until the end of the transfer window.” Osimhen said that staying in Naples was the best decision. “I had to make a decision that was also good for my career. Even though we footballers obviously play for money, it’s about so much more than that.” “Sky Sports” reported in July that Osimhen’s salary at Al-Hilal would have been around 60 million euros per year. The transfer fee would have been the third highest in football history.
