- Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen reportedly turned down a ₦44 billion annual offer from Saudi club Al Hilal
- The 26-year-old is currently eyeing a move to Europe after conquering the Super Lig, winning two titles
- A fan urged the 2023 CAF Player of the Year to make a move to the Saudi Pro League for a couple of years and turn his attention to politics in Edo State
Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal tabled ₦44 billion to lure Victor Osimhen to the club ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Al Hilal packaged a tax-free weekly wage of £425,000, the same offer reportedly rejected by Osimhen last year.

Meanwhile, Napoli have rejected four bids from Galatasaray despite matching Osimhen's €75 million release clause.
The Super Eagles star accepted Galatasaray's three-year contract worth €16 million per season, and the Turkish champions immediately entered talks with Napoli.
The Lions’ first two bids, worth €55 million and €60 million, were swiftly rejected as the Neapolitans were unwilling to accept any offer below their €75 million release clause.
Galatasaray eventually agreed to match the release clause, but in five instalments, which Napoli yet again rejected, and the Turkish club prepared a new offer, per Punch.
Fan advises Osimhen to join politics
Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has been told to become a gubernatorial candidate for Edo State in the future.
In a post on X, the fan wants the Nigerian international to accept the enticing offer from Al Hilal for 3 years and channel it into politics. The fan wrote:
"If I’m Victor Osimhen, I’d go to Saudi Arabia and collect that ridiculous salary from Al-Hilal for 3yrs. Then come back to Nigeria to be a contender for Edo State’s gubernatorial candidate!"

Ighalo wants Osimhen in Saudi Pro League

Ighalo, who moved to the Saudi League after leaving Manchester United in 2021, said Osimhen should ignore criticism coming from every angle and seal the deal. He said via Echo Room Podcast:
“My advice is for him to go to Saudi Arabia, play for two years, make money, and then come back to Europe.”
