Al-Hilal Offers Huge Deal to Make Osimhen Highest-Paid African Footballer
Al-Hilal are stepping up their chase for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen with a massive new offer that could make him the highest-paid African footballer ever. Reports say the Saudi club has now put forward a deal worth around €50 million per year—excluding bonuses—hoping to finally land the Nigerian star. This comes after Osimhen previously turned down a €30 million annual deal, even though Al-Hilal had triggered his €75 million release clause.
The club had aimed to complete the transfer before the Club World Cup but couldn’t get it over the line. Still, their interest hasn’t faded, and insiders say they’re willing to go all in to bring him to Saudi Arabia. Currently, Riyad Mahrez holds the title of Africa’s highest-paid player, earning over €1 million weekly at Al-Ahli following his move from Manchester City. If Osimhen accepts the offer, that could soon change.
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.
It can be noted that the team was accused of taking towels belonging to opposition goalkeepers during matches, which sparked criticism from fans and observers, with many calling for consequences.
Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
