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 footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
