Al Hilal Financially Outpaces Galatasaray in the Race for Osimhen
Italian journalist Matteo Morito revealed details of the offers made to Napoli for the Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, amid strong competition between Saudi club Al Hilal and Turkish club Galatasaray to sign the player during the ongoing summer transfer window.
According to Morito, Al Hilal submitted an official offer worth 75 million euros, to be paid in two equal installments of 37.5 million euros each.
In contrast, Galatasaray made an offer of 40 million euros to be paid immediately, in addition to 17.5 million euros in May 2026 and the same amount in May 2027, bringing the total Turkish offer to 75 million euros as well, but with longer and more complex payment terms.
Considering the payment guarantees and the speed of payment, the advantage clearly seems to favor Al Hilal, which is looking to finalize the deal amid coach Filippo Inzaghi's need to strengthen the attacking line, especially with uncertain news about Serbian Mitrovic's future.
Napoli's final decision remains pending, with significant anticipation from fans and media regarding the future of one of the world's most expensive strikers at present.
