Saudi club Al Hilal have reportedly made an impressive bid of €140m (£120.3m) to Napoli for striker Victor Osimhen, along with tempting weekly wages of £1m.
Sky Sports revealed the offer, which comes after Al Hilal’s previous bid of €300m (£259m) for Kylian Mbappe, despite the player declining the offer.
Napoli, however, seem reluctant to part with Osimhen and would likely demand more than €150m (£128.8m) for the player who finished as the top scorer in Serie A last season, helping Napoli win the league title.

Talks between Napoli and Osimhen’s agent have hit a roadblock, and his current contract, which runs until 2025, remains uncertain.
Last month, Napoli’s president mentioned a basic agreement on a two-year extension but indicated openness to consider a compelling offer.
The 24-year-old Osimhen played a pivotal role in Napoli’s successful Serie A campaign, contributing with 26 goals in the Italian topflight. Manchester United had also shown interest in signing him this summer.
