Napoli president wants half a billion for Osimhen

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis will demand a record-breaking fee for Victor Osimhen to send him to Saudi Arabia. The Nigerian striker is one of the best in his position in Europe and last season was fundamental for Napoli Scudetto success as he scored 31 goals in 39 games.

The former Lille player has been linked with a move to Al Hilal this summer. According to some information, the Saudi club sent an offer of a total value of 200 million euros and was ready to give salary of 40 million per month to Osimhen, but the deal didn’t go through.

According to L’Equipe , De Laurentiis would not let Osimhen go for 200 million. The French publication claims that the president of the Italian club responded to this offer with an email that read: “Your offer can only buy one of Osimen’s legs. For next year, I expect you to offer 500 million and maybe we will think over the offer, but again I say “maybe”.
