Contrary to widespread speculation, Corriere dello Sport Editor-in-Chief Ivan Zazzaroni has revealed that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has not received any official offers from Premier League clubs this summer. Speaking at a recent event, Zazzaroni expressed near certainty that Osimhen will join Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal, citing an extraordinary contract offer reportedly worth €40 million per year an amount that no Premier League club can match.
Zazzaroni emphasized that even Galatasaray, where Osimhen was on loan last season, cannot afford half of Al-Hilal’s proposal. Osimhen’s loan spell ended weeks ago, and the 26-year-old is eager to leave Napoli during this transfer window, with a decision expected imminently.
While some reports have linked Osimhen to Premier League clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal, no formal bids have been confirmed, and the Saudi offer appears to be the most financially lucrative and likely destination at this stage.
Osimhen himself has acknowledged interest from multiple clubs but remains focused on making the best decision for his career. The ongoing negotiations with Napoli and Al-Hilal suggest that a move to the Saudi Pro League could soon be finalized, marking a significant shift for one of Europe’s most prolific forwards.
