Saudi Pro League side, Al-Hilal are desperate to make Osimhen the highest-paid African footballer with a new offer.
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.
