After declining a £120 million transfer bid, Victor Osimhen makes Premier League admission amid Liverpool links

The Napoli striker has been linked to Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool.
linked to Liverpool Victor Osimhen has downplayed reports that he has a preferred Premier League team.

Osimhen scored 31 goals in 36 games to help Napoli win the Serie A championship the previous season. He has six bags in his ten outings this campaign thus far.

According to reports, the striker’s contract negotiations with Napoli have come to a standstill. Al-Hilal, a Saudi Pro League team, made a huge money offer for him during the summer transfer window, but he turned it down.

Many English teams, including Liverpool, have been connected to a move for Osimhen. The Nigerian international was recently featured on The Obi One Podcast, hosted by former Chelsea midfielder Jon Obi Mikel. He acknowledges that he owns shirts from both Manchester United and the west London team, but he does not have a favourite.

“I don’t have a favourite Premier League team, but I do have two shirts: Manchester United and Chelsea,” he remarked. My buddies are divided between Chelsea and Manchester United. For African players, the Premier League is the most popular league; it’s a fantastic league.

Rejecting Al-Hilal, he declared, “What was said is true.” To be honest, I never considered leaving Napoli during the summer because they wanted to keep me, but when the enormous offer from Saudi Arabia arrived, it was difficult to turn it down. I chose to stay after speaking with Napoli.

It was absurd. They boosted the money offer the more times I answered no. They never gave up, and it would have altered my life. I replied, “No, guys, I’m staying,” though. Of course. I had discussions in August, and I had to make a big choice. Napoli and I decided to decline when I spoke with them.

“I tried to avoid giving the impression that I wanted to go. I made the right choice in terms of my job. There is so much more to playing football than just doing it for money.

More news…….

About Mo Salah’s future at Liverpool, David Ornstein discusses what he has been hearing thus far.

At this point, Mohamed Salah might be considering staying at Liverpool past the end of the current campaign.

Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia showed a lot of interest in Salah throughout the summer, and Liverpool turned down a huge offer for their number eleven.

Since then, it’s been widely believed that the Saudis will make Mo a second offer in January or early next year. Many Reds supporters may have already come to terms with the possibility that this is Salah’s final season at Anfield.

However, journalist David Ornstein now suggests that could not be the case after all. In a Q&A session with The Athletic, Ornstein was questioned whether the future of the Egyptian superstar had received “any noise.” Liverpool supporters will find encouragement in his response.

The journalist answered, “No, other than I don’t think it’s set in stone he goes.”

“I’ve even heard some comments that he would want to stay and carry on competing in Europe at the top level. Of course, it’s a big decision for the player and the team.

Liverpool gave Salah motivation.

The Saudi interest that surfaced during the summer, which was naturally turned down, was in some respects a good thing.

It helped Liverpool fans prepare for the possibility that, in a year, their Egyptian King may actually leave the team. That has been the general sentiment among supporters.

However, given that the Saudis frequently perform for audiences of fewer than 1,000, maybe the situation has changed.

Nobody knew for sure how the Pro League initiative would turn out back in the summer. Many well-known players were moving to the Middle East, raising hopes that the league would soon be on par with its European rivals.

That may still be the case in the future, but it hasn’t materialised as of yet. It appears more and more like it will follow in the unfortunate footsteps of the Chinese Super League with each passing week. Is anyone really bothered outside of the transfer window?

You can see why Mo might have been tempted by an offer a year ago. Now, though, there ought to be a legitimate doubt. It will appear as though he is conceding that his career is failing by moving from the Premier League to the Pro League.

Salah might still be content to take that step, but we believe his fierce competitiveness might be about to turn the tide. He is thirty-one years old.

Hopefully, Liverpool’s return to form and a few trophies this season will satiate his desire and convince him to stay. It seems as though things are about to change. Mo may finally have his “Wolf of Wall Street” moment.
