In the world of big money and bold transfers, not every glittering offer brings lasting glory. According to Daily Post, former Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi has advised Victor Osimhen against a proposed move to Saudi Arabia, warning that it might not align with the striker's long-term football goals.

According to Daily Post, Mikel Obi has stepped into the Victor Osimhen transfer saga, aiming to steer the Super Eagles forward towards a legacy-driven path rather than a financially tempting one.

  • John Mikel Obi urges Osimhen to prioritise European legacy over instant wealth
  • Mikel sees Chelsea as a better fit for Osimhen's prime years
  • Osimhen is reportedly weighing offers from both European giants and Middle Eastern clubs
  • Mikel believes a Saudi move could sideline Osimhen from top-tier football competitions
  • Nigerian fans are split. some say ‘cash out’, others say ‘stay and shine’

Mikel’s caution serves as a reminder that for many African athletes, career decisions straddle pride, purpose, and pressure.
