Victor Osimhen Still Thinking as Top Clubs Fight to Sign Him
Football transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has shared fresh insight into what’s next for Victor Osimhen, as the striker weighs up his options following the end of his loan spell at Galatasaray. The Nigerian star, currently on holiday in Nigeria, is widely expected to leave Napoli for good this summer, though no final decision has been made yet.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano revealed that Osimhen has multiple offers on the table. He mentioned that Al-Hilal, Galatasaray, Juventus, and several Premier League clubs are all in the race to sign the 26-year-old.
According to Romano, Al-Hilal remain especially determined, despite Osimhen turning them down earlier. The Saudi club is confident that no other team can match their financial package and is preparing another move after reportedly reaching an agreement with Napoli.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray is still pushing, Juventus has reached out again, and interest from the Premier League remains strong—leaving Osimhen with several options to consider ahead of the new season.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
