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.

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
