Napolie loanee Victor Osimhen was linked to Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain until the final week of the summer transfer window. Nonetheless, neither club signed a deal to secure him from Napoli to bolster their attack.
As a result, a temporary solution was reached as the 25-year-old joined Galatasaray, proving to suitors that he’s a top No. 9. Earlier this month, the Nigerian standout noted that clubs shouldn’t shy away from paying a high price for him.
“I am worth over €100 million,” Osimhen said. “There are few players in the world like me, who have reached such style and success. It all relates to my characteristics, what I do, and my quality.”
Is Victor Osimhen moving away from Europe?
A recent update on Osimhen comes from Fichajes, which indicates that Napoli are open to considering offers from Saudi Arabian clubs in the upcoming summer transfer window. The club aims to secure a substantial fee for his transfer.
The report also highlights that Saudi clubs are targeting Osimhen as part of their strategy to attract top talent and enhance their league’s competitiveness.
With significant financial resources, these teams are well-positioned to meet Napoli’s economic demands and fulfill Osimhen’s salary expectations. In this scenario, a generous offer could be crucial in persuading the Italian club to finalize the transfer.
