Al-Hilal makes £171m offer for Osimhen as Barca reacts to Dembele PSG rumours

After being snubbed by PSG star Kylian Mbappe Al-Hilal has turned their attention to Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen with an offer of £171m to Napoli to sign their prime asset.

L’Equipe report Mbappe and his representatives refused to meet with Al-Hilal officials in Paris to discuss a possible world-record transfer to Saudi Arabia.

And now L’Equipe is claiming that Al-Hilal have now moved on to Osimhen, who has been heavily linked with Manchester United over the last couple of years.

 “After the failure of their attempt on Mbappe, Al-Hilal will position themselves very quickly on Osimhen,” L’Equipe reported.

And Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera also insist there has been a €200m (£171m) offer from the Saudi side with Napoli ‘worried’ about losing their striker.

Caught Offside report that PSG has also renewed her interest in Osimhen: “If PSG were to bank €300m from selling Mbappe, I’m not sure it would actually change their transfer plans significantly – the players they’ve looked at already have pretty big price tags. They have looked at

the situations regarding players like Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane, so those are players already on PSG’s radar, it’s just that there’s the feeling they might not be the best fit.’’

Meanwhile, Ousmane Dembele is once again being linked with a move to PSG but Barcelona are reportedly fairly calm about the situation.

Speculation is rife that Dembele has agreed a deal with PSG, and the French champions will spring his €50 million release clause before the end of the month.

Yet there is no cause for “particular concern” in the Barcelona dressing room, according to Diario Sport.

Xavi and his staff are “100% confident” that Dembele wants to stay and continue his career with the Catalan giants.

Contract renewal negotiations are already underway, and the club are confident he will extend his deal with Barcelona.

Mundo Deportivo have a similar report and claims Barcelona sees Dembele as being committed to the club and not thinking about leaving.

The suspicion from Barcelona is that the PSG links are a “negotiating tactic” by his agent to get a better deal for the Frenchman.

Dembele is already thought to have turned down a lucrative offer to move to Saudi Arabia and has said he’s happy at Barcelona.
