Exclusive: Glimmer of hope for Juventus as Osimhen rejects a destination

Juventus transfer target Victor Osimhen has turned out a lucrative offer from Al-Hilal as he has no desire to play in the Saudi Pro League.

The 26-year-old spent the previous campaign on loan at Galatasaray, but he still has a contract with Napoli valid for another year.

The Partenopei are keen to offload the Nigerian striker, but they remain hellbent on collecting the full value of his €75 million release (which can only be triggered by clubs outside of Italy).

In recent weeks, Al-Hilal have been eager to seal a deal that would allow them to buy Osimhen before the start of the FIFA Club World Cup.

The Arabian giants reached an agreement with Napoli to pay the value of the release clause in three yearly instalments.
