Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen’s much-anticipated summer transfer has taken an unexpected turn.
The celebrated journalist David Ornstein has dropped a bombshell, stating that Premier League clubs now believe the Nigerian striker is more likely to join a Saudi Arabian team than stay in Europe.
Currently on loan at Galatasaray, Osimhen had been linked with heavyweights like Juventus, who reportedly tabled an offer ahead of the 2025/26 season. Word was that Osimhen turned it down, holding out for a Premier League dream. But Ornstein’s latest scoop suggests a different path might be unfolding.
With a 75 million euro release clause set to kick in next summer, Saudi clubs appear to be leading the chase for the dynamic forward. This news will catch many off guard, especially since Osimhen has long been vocal about wanting to test himself in England’s top flight.
Yet, the jaw-dropping financial pull of Saudi Arabia might just turn his head.
