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.

The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.

“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”

Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
