Galatasaray have reportedly rejected a €130m offer from Al-Hilal for Victor Osimhen.

The Saudi Pro League club made the huge verbal bid for Osimhen on Wednesday through intermediaries, but the approach was turned down.

Galatasaray have told Al-Hilal that they have no plans to enter into negotiations over a possible sale this summer.

Osimhen has scored 59 goals in 74 matches since joining the Turkish Super Lig champions from Napoli on an initial loan deal in 2024. That move was made permanent last summer for a Turkish record transfer fee of €75m.

Al-Hilal have held a long-term interest in Osimhen and were close to signing the striker before his move to Istanbul.

The Saudi club want to add Osimhen to strengthen the squad ahead of their push for the Pro League title in 2026/27. Al-Hilal finished second last season, two points behind champions Al-Nassr.

The club are expected to approve Darwin Nunez's departure in the coming days, with Osimhen identified as a marquee signing to strengthen the attack.

Al-Hilal have already completed a £60m move for Crysencio Summerville from West Ham United, and Karim Benzema and Malcolm are already among their attacking options.

Even so, Galatasaray have firmly maintained that Osimhen is not available for sale at any price this summer. Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with a possible move for the Nigeria international.
