Victor Osimhen’s future is hanging in the balance after a sensational season with Galatasaray, where the Nigerian striker scored 25 goals and contributed 5 assists in just 29 appearances.

While his form has reignited interest across Europe, a record-shattering offer from Saudi Arabia could shift the tide.

Still officially a Napoli player, Osimhen is not expected to feature in the Italian club’s plans moving forward. His return to Naples will merely be a formality before sealing a permanent move elsewhere.

Galatasaray, who have built a strong bond with Osimhen throughout the past season, are hopeful of retaining him. However, interest from other clubs  and a jaw-dropping offer from Saudi Arabia  have made the race for his signature far more competitive.

Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal have reportedly tabled a colossal offer of €30 million per year over a three-year contract, aiming to lure Osimhen to the Middle East.

Though he has long expressed a desire to stay in Europe, this offer is said to have made him seriously reconsider his stance.

The 25-year-old striker is currently taking time to evaluate his options before making a final decision on his future.

Juventus has emerged as another serious contender, especially with the likely exit of Dusan Vlahovic. The Turin-based club sees Osimhen as a top target to lead their attack.

While personal terms are still being negotiated, early signs suggest the two sides could reach a mutual understanding.

However, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is holding firm, seeking a transfer fee close to the €75 million release clause.

Al-Hilal, meanwhile, is reluctant to go beyond €40 million for a player who could leave on a free transfer in 2025.

As interest grows and offers pile up, Osimhen finds himself at a career-defining crossroads: chase European silverware or accept a life changing financial package in Saudi Arabia.

A final decision is expected soon  one that could reshape not only his career but also this summer’s transfer landscape.
