Victor Osimhen Likely to Join Al Hilal as Chelsea and Manchester United Stay Quiet
Galatasaray insider Serdar Ali Çelikler has hinted that Victor Osimhen may be heading to Saudi Arabia, with Al Hilal leading the race for his signature. Çelikler, speaking on Neo Spor’s YouTube channel, said unless the Saudi giants pull out, Osimhen is likely to sign with them. This comes amid rumours linking the Nigerian striker with Premier League sides like Chelsea and Manchester United.
Although United have reportedly held talks about bringing him in this summer, there hasn’t been much movement from Chelsea, despite their strong interest last year. Interestingly, Osimhen has been wrongly credited with playing for Galatasaray in some reports, but he actually plays for Napoli. He had an outstanding season, scoring 37 goals and providing eight assists across competitions.
Çelikler believes Galatasaray can’t match the financial power of Al Hilal, who have reportedly offered the striker a staggering €30 million per year — that’s around N54 billion. He noted that unless Osimhen agrees to a far lower deal, like €20 million, it’s hard to see him staying in Europe.
“He has about a week or ten days to make a final decision,” Çelikler said. Meanwhile, Nigerian sports journalist Buchi Laba shared that Osimhen has already turned down one offer from the Saudi side, suggesting the forward is still weighing his options.
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
