Saudi Arabian team Al Hilal has submitted an official offer to add Napoli player Victor Osimhen to their squad. The total value of the offers made separately to both the club and the player reached 70 million euros.

According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Al Hilal knocked on Napoli's door with an offer including a 65 million euro transfer fee and 5 million euros in bonuses. Additionally, Osimhen was offered an annual salary of 26 million euros.

NAPOLI AND THE PLAYER REJECTED THE OFFER

According to the Italian press, Di Marzio reported that both the Napoli management and Osimhen gave a negative response to the Saudi club's offer.

Despite the high salary and attractive terms, Al Hilal's efforts remained fruitless as Osimhen wants to continue his career in Europe. Nevertheless, it is stated that the Saudi club plans to increase its transfer fee offer to 75 million euros.

THE FINAL OFFER REACHING 30 MILLION EUROS WAS ALSO REJECTED

The Saudi newspaper Arriyadiyah wrote that Al Hilal offered Osimhen a record-level annual salary of 30 million euros in the final stage. However, this astronomical offer was also not accepted.

According to the report, the negotiations between the parties were interrupted several times due to additional conditions and contract details, and no progress could be made.

GALATASARAY GAINED AN ADVANTAGE IN THE TRANSFER

Following the rejection of Al Hilal's offer, all eyes turned to Galatasaray. Fabrizio Romano announced that after these developments, Galatasaray has moved to the forefront in the Osimhen transfer.

It has been claimed that Galatasaray has submitted the highest transfer fee offer in the club's history. Sky Sports from the British press reported that the yellow-red club is ready to make a major financial sacrifice for Osimhen.
