Galatasaray commentator Serdar Ali Çelikler has pointed to Al Hilal as the probable final destination for Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen.
According to Çelikler, unless the Saudi Pro League side decides to withdraw their interest, Osimhen appears set to make the switch to Saudi Arabia.
This revelation comes amidst continuous rumors linking Osimhen to Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester United.
While Manchester United are reportedly considering the Super Eagles striker in their internal recruitment discussions for the upcoming transfer window, Chelsea have been relatively quiet despite their heavy interest last summer.
Osimhen, who previously made a remarkable impact by netting 37 goals and providing eight assists in 41 matches across all competitions while at Galatasaray, continues to attract attention from top-tier clubs.
Speaking during a session on the Neo Spor YouTube channel, as cited by Habersarikirmizi, Çelikler made a bold assertion about Osimhen’s next move:
“Unless Al Hilal withdraws its offer, Victor Osimhen will go there,” he stated.
He added that Galatasaray lacks the financial capacity to compete with the salary figures being proposed:
“Galatasaray cannot offer a salary of 35 million euros based on what I know. If Osimhen remains at Galatasaray for a 20 million euro salary, then we’ll applaud him. But currently, Osimhen has between a week to 10 days to reach a final decision.”
Further reports indicate that Al Hilal has presented an offer totaling €30 million per year, which translates to around ₦54 billion.
Additionally, prominent Nigerian sports journalist Onyebuchi Onokala, widely known as Buchi Laba, disclosed that Victor Osimhen had previously rejected a salary proposal from Al Hilal, though this has yet to be officially confirmed.
