In the podcast with Obi Mikel, Osimhen revealed that rumours of a €200 million offer from Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal were indeed true and the proposal was "difficult" to turn down.

He explained: "What was said is true. I have to be honest, I never thought about leaving last summer because Napoli wanted to keep me, but when the offer came from Saudi Arabia, a huge offer, it was hard to refuse. I spoke to Napoli and decided to stay.

“It was crazy… The more I said no, the more they increased the financial offer. It would have changed my life, they never gave up. But I said, no guys, I’m staying.”
