Victor Osimhen Rejects £25m Al-Hilal Offer, Opens Door for Manchester United Move

Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has turned down a lucrative £25.3 million per year offer from Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal, despite the club meeting his €75 million release clause. Osimhen's decision to reject the Saudi club’s proposal is reportedly influenced by his preference to continue playing in Europe, with strong interest coming from Premier League clubs Arsenal and Manchester United, as well as Juventus. Both Arsenal and Manchester United are actively searching for a new center forward and have been competing for other top strikers like Viktor Gyokeres, further highlighting Osimhen's appeal in the European transfer market. Napoli is determined to sell the 26-year-old this summer, with Osimhen taking his time to consider the best option for his career while attracting attention from other major European clubs. This development leaves the door open for a high-profile move to Manchester United, who are closely monitoring the situation under their new manager Ruben Amorim. Liverpool’s transfer plans may also be indirectly affected, as their target Victor Osimhen’s decision impacts the Saudi club’s pursuit of forwards, which relates to Liverpool’s own striker transfer uncertainties surrounding Darwin Nunez.
