Nigerian international striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly keen on joining Turkish champions Galatasaray, even as his current club, Napoli, continues to press him to consider a lucrative offer from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
According to multiple sources, including Italian transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà and Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Napoli have been pressuring Osimhen to reconsider Al-Hilal’s proposal, which includes a substantial package of €55 million upfront and another €20 million in instalments, all backed by verified letters of credit.

However, Osimhen has consistently rebuffed the idea of moving to Saudi Arabia, showing no interest in joining Simone Inzaghi’s Al-Hilal side.
Instead, he remains keen on continuing his career at Galatasaray, where he spent a successful loan spell last season and reportedly feels comfortable and valued.
Negotiations between Galatasaray and Napoli are ongoing, with the Turkish giants working to meet the Italian club’s financial demands.
Meanwhile, Napoli still hope Osimhen can be swayed by the more financially attractive offer from Al-Hilal.
Osimhen, who has scored 76 goals and provided 18 assists in 133 appearances for Napoli, previously netted 18 goals and 6 assists in 38 matches for Lille.
His preference for Galatasaray highlights his desire for competitive European football and a familiar environment over a big-money switch to the Middle East.
