Victor Osimhen is not heading to Saudi Arabia, despite widespread reports of a blockbuster deal with Al-Hilal. A close source has now labeled the rumours as “very false”, potentially opening the door wider for Chelsea and Arsenal to pursue the Nigerian striker
  • Journalist Buchi Laba, close to Osimhen, denies any agreement with Al-Hilal.
  • Reports claimed Al-Hilal offered €45 million annually, triple Premier League bids.
  • Osimhen scored 36 goals, 8 assists in 40 games for Galatasaray this season.
  • Chelsea and Arsenal remain interested; Man United may step back.
  • Osimhen was left out of Galatasaray’s weekend squad, fueling further speculation.
The collapse of Al-Hilal’s alleged deal shifts the spotlight back to Europe, with Chelsea seemingly regaining a foothold in the Osimhen chase. His phenomenal season has only heightened interest, and his Premier League suitors now face less financial competition. Still, Napoli’s valuation remains the next big hurdle.

With Saudi Arabia out and no confirmed offers yet, all eyes are now on Chelsea and Arsenal. Will either side make a decisive move before Galatasaray or Napoli force their hand?
