Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal have pulled out of the race to sign Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, according to a report from French media Foot Mercato. Sports Zone understands that the Saudi side’s attention has now turned to Darwin Nuñez (25).
Al-Hilal pulled out of the race to sign Osimhen due to his high wage demands. The Gulf state club had upped their bid to €35 pre year, however, it was not enough.
They now believe that the Napoli forward is too expensive, and so they are turning their attention to other strikers.
The report said Osimhen is demanding a salary of £500,000-a-week which the Saudi giants are not ready to pay.
Osimhen was impressive during his season-long loan at Galatasaray last season.
The former Lille star netted 37 goals in all competitions for the Turkish champions.
Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli permanently this summer, and at the moment, his next destination is not clear.
