Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who has been on loan at Turkish side Galatasaray for the 2024/25 season, is on the verge of deciding where he will continue his career in the future. According to journalist Patrick Berger on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, the player has received serious offers from Turkey and Saudi Arabia at the same time.
Galatasaray has prepared the largest offer in history
Istanbul giants Galatasaray have offered Osimhen a four-year contract and a salary of 15 million euros per season. This is considered the largest financial offer in the club's history. The club is also ready to pay Napoli a compensation of 60-65 million euros to buy the striker outright.
However, the release clause in the current contract with Napoli is 75 million euros and it is possible that the Neapolitans will not want to go below this price.
A huge salary from Saudi Arabia, but...
Meanwhile, one of the leading clubs in Saudi Arabia, Al-Hilal, is offering the striker a salary of 40 million euros per year (excluding taxes). Financially, this is a huge scouting opportunity for Osimhen, but the player's personal feelings may also play an important role in the decision.
According to reports, Osimhen feels very good in Turkey, especially at Galatasaray. His adaptation to the club, comfort in the environment and relationship with the fans are making him hesitate in making a decision.
Osimhen's statistics are impressive
This season, he played in 37 matches for Galatasaray, scoring a total of 32 goals and providing 6 assists. This figure puts him among the most effective strikers not only in the Turkish Super League, but also in Europe.
When will the decision be made?
According to reports, a final decision on Osimhen's future is expected to be made in the coming days. His current contract with Napoli runs until the summer of 2026.
It should be noted that Al-Hilal currently has stars such as Joao Cancelo, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Ruben Neves. This suggests that Osimhen could pursue higher ambitions with the Saudi version of the team.
Conclusion: Emotion or Money?
The choice facing Osimhen is not only financial for the player, but also personal motivation, environment, professional growth, and personal happiness. On the one hand, the bright game in Turkey and the love of the fans, and on the other hand, the financial stability and the opportunity to be in the same team with the stars in Saudi Arabia.
Regardless of the decision, Victor Osimhen's future is sure to attract further interest in the European and Asian football markets. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
