Osimhen was chased by several top clubs last summer and Al Hilal sent a €70 million offer to Napoli for him.
Former Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo has said he would have preferred Victor Osimhen to complete a move to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.
Osimhen was chased by several top clubs last summer and Al Hilal sent a €70 million offer to Napoli for him.
However, the 27-year-old ended up signing for Turkish giants Galatasaray.
Speaking with Winwin, Ighalo also conceded he understands why Osimhen decided to move to Turkey.
He said: “For me, I wished he had gone to Al-Hilal, but Galatasaray is a big club, the biggest in Turkey, and they participate in the Champions League and perform well.
“Perhaps not now, but after the end of his experience with Galatasaray, he can still move to Al-Hilal later.”
