Osimhen rejects N50bn Al-Hilal deal

<p>Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has rejected the €60m (N50 billion) per season salary offer from Saudi club Al-Hilal, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.</p>, <p>According to reports in France and England, Napoli rejected an offer worth €140m from Al-Hilal for Osimhen while the player snubbed the weekly pay package of €1m.</p>, <p>L’Equipe and Sky Sports UK both claim that the extraordinary proposal was put forward by the club in Saudi Arabia on Monday.</p>, <p>While others have already gone to the Saudi Pro League at the peak of their careers, including Karim Benzema, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Marcelo Brozovic, Osimhen has no intention of making that move yet.</p>, <p>It doesn’t hurt that Napoli are discussing a new contract extension for the Nigerian striker, but also worth noting that €140m would’ve been rejected regardless, even if it had come in from a top European side.</p>, <p>Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has set the price tag at over €150m.</p>, <p>He is discussing a deal that would be worth €7m per season plus bonuses at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and the Partenopei hope Osimhen will extend his contract after scoring 26 goals in Serie A last season.</p>, <p>Manchester United and Chelsea have also been linked with Osimhen throughout the summer but he has proved too expensive for both teams.</p>, <p>Ligue 1 champions PSG retain an interest but it is unlikely they will be able to match the offer on the table from Al Hilal.</p>
