Napoli Star Victor Osimhen has rejected Chelsea to join this shocking club for £70 million

The transfer window is rapidly drawing to a close, and the fate of Victor Osimhen hangs precariously in the balance as the FIFA Club World Cup approaches. The Nigerian international’s impressive loan spell with Galatasaray, where he netted an astonishing 37 goals, has ignited a fierce interest in his services. However, Chelsea’s pursuit of him appears to be losing momentum due to concerns over his potential wage demands. This development could potentially clear the path for Osimhen to join a rival team vying for the lucrative £97m prize.

A Dramatic Twist: Al-Hilal’s Pursuit
In a stunning turn of events, Saudi Pro League team Al-Hilal has reportedly informed Napoli, Osimhen’s parent club, that they are willing to meet the €75m (£63m) asking price for the striker’s transfer. This comes after initial reports suggested that Al-Hilal’s offer fell short of the asking price by €5m (£4m). The Saudi club’s unwavering determination to secure Osimhen’s services is evident, with them taking the bold step of booking a medical examination in Paris, despite still awaiting the player’s personal agreement to the deal.

Osimhen’s Whereabouts: A Cloud of Uncertainty
Meanwhile, Osimhen has traveled to his Nigerian homeland, rather than heading to Paris for the medical examination. This development adds another layer of complexity to the transfer saga, leaving many wondering what the future holds for the talented striker. With the transfer window rapidly closing, the clock is ticking, and it remains to be seen whether Osimhen will join Al-Hilal or explore other options.
