Al Hilals search for a festival striker hit a large hook after Victor Osimhen rejected the club’s third and final offer, Talksport understands.
The Nigerian shooters were offered an annual content of £ 34 million, which corresponds to £ 650,000 per week and bonuses.

The Saudi Pro League side had also booked Osimhen’s trips and prepared its medical side. The Napoli striker had one last period of June 8 to decide to participate Al Hilals in the World Cup.
But the Saudi outfit has now been abandoned after Osimhen gave its final answer.
The news of Osimhen’s rejection is viewed a big surprise for a series of Premier League clubs, since many thought it was intended for a Saudi switch.
Instead, it has now opened the door for Juventus and Galatasaray, where Osimhen spent the 2024/25 season in order to become active for his signature again.
The French giants Paris Saint-Germain can also return to the negotiating table after they have approved personal conditions with Osimhen last summer, but could not charge a fee with Napoli.
Chelsea and Manchester United would be interested in a deal for Osimhen, but only under the illness that he incorporated into their wage structure, which could prove as a problem for the Red Devils given the lack of Champions League football next season.
Since Osimhen is no longer an option, it remains to be seen whether Al Hilal revives her interest in Darwin Nunez and Richarlison.
The couple was discussed by Al Hilals Deal Makers in the past.
Al Hilal is now also being discussed whether he should make a last offer for a festival tent player before June 15th.
Apart from Nunez and Richarlison, Bernardo Silva and Youri Tielemans are two stars of the Premier League, which were able to meet in these conversations.

Silva only has a year in his contract with Manchester City, so that the English heavyweights may redeem the Portuguese international before going for free.
The midfielder is one of the most experienced players in Pep Guardiola’s squad with over 400 appearances for City to his name.
Silva has also proven to be remarkably versatile and operated as an attack and central midfielder and on the right flank.
However, the 30-year-old was associated with the trains from Etihad over the years and was targeted by PSG and Barcelona.
Silva also revealed in 2023 that he had the efforts to return to the Portuguese side of Benfica, where he came through the academy.
Tielemans enjoyed one of his best seasons when he scored five times and delivered ten templates from 53 appearances for Aston Villa in the 2024/25 campaign.

The 28-year-old was omnipresent in the base of Villa’s midfield and his excellent performance brought him the player of the season and the players of the players of the season prices.
In June 2023 he came to a free transmission from Leicester City to Villa and remained for two more years.
Al Hilal’s Club World Cup campaign begins on June 18 with a bumper against Real Madrid.
