Arsenal’s Bid for Victor Osimhen Rejected

Arsenal’s attempt to secure Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has hit a snag as Napoli rejected their £59 million bid.

According to SportMediaset, Napoli are holding firm on Osimhen’s full £109 million release clause. This high price tag has deterred other interested clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester United from making a move.

With European clubs hesitant to meet Napoli’s demands Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal emerges as a potential destination. Osimhen’s recent performance has not lived up to his hefty valuation causing clubs to reconsider the value of his transfer.

The clock is ticking as Napoli gives Osimhen’s camp a few more days to negotiate an acceptable deal in Europe before looking to finalize a move elsewhere.
