Victor Osimhen, one of the most outstanding strikers in European football in recent seasons, has decided to open a new page in his career. The Nigerian player, who is considered one of the most talented representatives of the African continent, will now continue his career in Saudi Arabia.
As it turned out, the news about the future of the attacking player was first reported by the famous Italian insider Nicolo Schira. According to him, the 26-year-old player has reached a personal agreement with the Al-Hilal club. The contract with the famous Saudi club will last until the summer of 2029.
The details of the contract were also revealed: Victor Osimhen will be provided not only with playing practice for each season, but also with a record salary. In particular, the Nigerian star will earn about 35 million euros per year in Saudi Arabia. This will make Osimhen one of the highest-paid players in world football.
The situation for the player was quite complicated during the past season. Osimhen, who had a contract with the Italian club Napoli, decided to leave the Italian club due to disagreements with the management and moved to the Turkish club Galatasaray on a season-long loan. In his games for Galatasaray, he was able to show his high-level goal-scoring ability and once again attracted the attention of several major European clubs.
The footballer was interested not only in major European teams, but also in the English Premier League. However, this time Osimhen preferred not to stay in European football, but to travel to the East. Naturally, the new Saudi policy in football and the financial conditions they offer were an important factor in making this decision.
The final decision on Osimhen's transfer is expected to be made by the Napoli management in the coming days. As experts say, the Saudis are likely to be willing to pay a large transfer fee for the player, which would also be very convenient for the Napoli management.
It is worth noting that Victor Osimhen began his professional career in Europe and, after a brilliant performance at Lille, was transferred to Napoli for a record fee. The striker, who is one of the best scorers in Europe, will now have the opportunity to demonstrate his talent and goal-scoring skills in the East.
This transfer will undoubtedly further raise the profile of Saudi Arabian football on the world stage and will serve as an important factor in attracting several more star players to the country in the coming seasons. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
