Osimhen Recieves Offer to Make Him Highest-Paid African Footballer

Al-Hilal have tabled a new offer that would make Napoli’s Victor Osimhen the highest-earning footballer from Africa.

This is according to a report by Goal.

The report stated that the Saudi Pro League side have tabled a contract offer worth up to €50m per year without bonuses, in a bid to tempt the 26-year-old.

Al-Hilal already offered to pay Osimhen €30m per year, after they activated his €75m release clause, but he rejected the offer.

Despite hoping to wrap up the transfer before the Club World Cup, Al-Hilal failed to strike a deal.

However, it is understood that their interest in the Super Eagles striker remains strong and they will do whatever it takes to sign him.

Riyad Mahrez, who plays for Ah-Ahli, is currently the highest-paid African player

The 34-year-old moved to the Saudi Pro League club from Manchester City and earns €1,003,846 per week.
