A FIFA-licensed agent, George Gardi, has denied reports linking Victor Osimhen to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal. Gardi brokered Osimhen’s loan move to Galatasaray in January and has remained involved in the player’s career decisions.
Gardi stated, “These claims are completely baseless. Victor made me a promise when he joined Galatasaray. He wouldn’t sign with any club before the season ends.” Osimhen kept his word despite lucrative offers, showcasing his commitment to his current team.
Gardi emphasized Osimhen’s marketability, saying, “Besides, with a player like Victor, something like ‘taking him somewhere’ is out of the question. The biggest clubs in the world want him; he doesn’t need anyone to carve his own path.” Top clubs in Europe are indeed jostling for Osimhen’s signature.
Osimhen’s loan spell from Napoli will be over at the end of the 2024/25 season, and several clubs are interested in signing him. Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Juventus are among the top contenders for his signature. Napoli wants €75m for Osimhen, a valuation that might affect potential deals.
Galatasaray, Osimhen’s current team, are ready to make sacrifices to keep him, but convincing him might be challenging. He has scored 29 goals and provided six assists in all competitions this season, demonstrating his value to the team.
Gardi’s denial of Al Hilal links comes amid growing interest in Osimhen’s future. His performances have attracted top clubs in Europe, and Osimhen’s future will be decided soon. The Nigerian striker’s parent club Napoli is bent on rejecting Juventus’ proposal, while Manchester United might seal a deal if Napoli lowers Osimhen’s valuation.
Osimhen’s future is uncertain, and Galatasaray’s success with him has sparked interest in other players. The Turkish Super Lig side might struggle to keep Osimhen, and his decision will determine his next club. Osimhen’s agent has rubbished Al Hilal links, emphasizing his client’s commitment to securing the best deal.
Top clubs will continue to pursue Osimhen’s signature, and his future is eagerly anticipated. With his talent and marketability, Osimhen is poised to make a significant impact in the football world, regardless of his next move. His decision will have far-reaching implications for his career and the clubs involved.
