Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen may once again be facing an uncertain future amid the ongoing summer transfer window, as potential suitors back away due to his reported wage demands.
According to The Sun UK, Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal have withdrawn from the race to sign the 26-year-old Napoli striker, citing his request for a £500,000-per-week salary as a dealbreaker.
He had been widely linked with a move to Al-Hilal earlier in the transfer window, with reports suggesting the Saudi club was keen to secure the Nigerian star’s signature. However, their interest has now cooled, leaving Osimhen’s next destination unclear.
Despite the uncertainty, the former Lille star enjoyed a stellar season on loan at Galatasaray, where he scored 37 goals across all competitions, helping the Turkish giants to domestic success and boosting his profile on the European stage.
Osimhen is expected to depart Napoli permanently this summer, but with interest waning due to financial expectations, the Nigerian international may be forced to reassess his options as the window progresses.
For now, no concrete move has materialized, and Osimhen’s next chapter remains up in the air, despite his impressive form and proven goal-scoring prowess.
