Italian Reporter Reveals Manchester United Played A Role In 'Convincing' Victor Osimhen To Reject Al-hilal

Reports from Italy have revealed that Manchester United had a big influence on convincing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen to reject a huge offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal.

Victor Osimhen, one of the most wanted strikers in Europe, has been linked with a move to Manchester United for some time. This summer, Saudi club Al-Hilal offered him a very big contract to move to the Saudi Pro League.

But, according to Tuttosport, it wasn’t just about money for Osimhen. The reports claim that the interest from top clubs in Europe, like Manchester United and Arsenal, played a big part in his decision to turn down the offer from Al-Hilal. United’s and Arsenal’s interest in him made him decide to stay in Europe and continue playing at the highest level.

The new report suggests that Manchester United played an important role in Osimhen’s decision. Even though Al-Hilal offered a huge salary, the presence of Manchester United and Arsenal in the race for Osimhen’s signature helped convince him to stay in Europe.

United has long been interested in Osimhen, and Napoli reportedly told United last month that they would be willing to sell him if they could get Rasmus Højlund and £33 million in return. Though no deal has been made yet, United’s chances of getting Osimhen seem better after this latest development.

This new report could be a boost for Manchester United’s search for a striker. Since Osimhen has decided to stay in Europe, United may have a better chance of signing him. Given his excellent performances for Napoli in Italy’s Serie A, he would be a great addition to United’s squad if a deal is agreed.

While it seems Manchester United had some influence on Osimhen’s decision, the future is still uncertain. Napoli may still decide to sell him, and if they do, United could make a serious move for him. However, Arsenal and other top clubs are also interested, so it won’t be an easy race for United.
