Al Hilal have tendered a €140m (£120.3m) proposal to Napoli for the acquisition of striker Victor Osimhen. The wages being offered hover around £1m per week. Earlier, the Saudi Pro League club had a €300m (£259m) offer accepted for Paris St-Germain's Kylian Mbappe, although the player chose not to engage with them. They were also unsuccessful in their pursuit of Lionel Messi before his transfer to Inter Miami.
Napoli is believed to be demanding over €150m (£128.8m) to entertain the possibility of selling their top Serie A goalscorer from last season, who helped secure the league title. Osimhen, 24, was a sought-after player by Manchester United during the recent transfer window, while negotiations for a new contract with Napoli remain at a standstill.
Sky Italy has reported that a meeting between Napoli and Osimhen's agent was unsuccessful in reaching a solution regarding an extension to his current deal, which is set to expire in the summer of 2025.
When asked about the status of a new contract for Osimhen, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis stated last month that there is a preliminary agreement for a two-year extension but they are open to considering an irresistible offer.
