Osimhem and his agent seem novice
Make that move and watch how your entire career go down the drain. Saudi league is coming up, this is sure but the best time to go there is when the league finally arrive. First pikin naim mama dey take clean belle so pardon the pimples.
Napoli – 7m per season
Al Hilal – 70m per season
The Saudi’s are ready to retire European league football…..LMAOooo
10 times what he gets in Napoli that was a tempting offer!I’m sure Osimhen is tempted by that huge figure,i feel sorry for the poor boy who has a big career decision to make.
He should give Asamoah Gyan a call and ask for advise.
Gyan moved from Sunderland in the EPL to AL ain in the UAE when he has at his peak too for an offer in the region of 250k per week or thereabout back then
Osimhen could play for a couple of years in the middle east,grab the big cash and move back to Europe,i would haha..
Meanwhile,the Saudi league are offering large sums of money for stars who are still yet to reach the peak of their career boosts the reputation of the league as well as the competitive nature between teams.
Apparently,this will encourage more players,Osimhen may not feel out of place knowing equally good and young talents are headed there,so for me it’s a win win situation.
Hmmmmmmm this guys aren’t joking
Osimhen to go and spend two years there, grab the money and come back to Europe, at the end of the day it’s Money every footballer is looking for. Simple!
Osimhen should stay in Europe and make his name first like the CR7’s, Ngolo Kante, Benzeama’s Riyad Mahrez, Sadio Mane’s and Co. 3 years from now with Osimhen’s Potential and the inflation in football and his extreme potential he will be earning double this already. then by the time he moves to Saudi maybe 4 or 5 years from now the contract will be in the region of what ronaldo and Benzema are earning. He must first become the best he has a battle to do with Haaland Any Nigerian advising Osimhen to move to Saudi Arabia now does not want anything good for Nigerian football how can we be advising Nigeria’s Poster boy for football now to leave the best leagues in the world for Money. when he has a duel with Haaland and co still pending?.. Naija no sabi good thing o..
Moreover why is the Saudi’s not Throwing big Money for Haaland why must it be Osimhen?… Agents of doom attacking Nigerian football because of our bad Karma leadership.
There is No reason Osimhen should even consider this. If he repeats and better’s what he did last season for Napoli this season?. with the sponsorship’s and lucrative move that will come next season he will triple what these people are offering now plus he will be an even bigger name in football and that will be good for Nigeria as a whole, on the flip side he goes to Saudi’s he will be forgotten and fade into obscurity .
Abeg Oshimen, better take this offer. letthose wey never smell dollars, pounds or euros in their life deter you from making this big move. When injury comes now, na this same yeye people go dey why you no take the offer then. Dr Dry kuku don do the math for you. You are still in your prime. You can always come back to Europe if you want
It’s tempting. And of course he can still be a useful player to Nigeria from there.
Let Oshimien pray for God’s counsel.
