Victor Osimhen would prefer to move to MLS to play with Lionel Messi than make a move to the Saudi Pro League after being linked with Al-Hilal.
The Nigerian striker was pursued by Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal during the summer but their offer was rebuffed by Napoli who were keen to hold on to their talismanic goal-scorer after capturing the Scudetto in the 2022-23 campaign. However, Osimhen is yet to sign an extension with the club with his current deal expiring in 2025 which has led to continued speculation about his future.
In a Twitch interview with Emiliano Viviano and former Italy forward Mario Balotelli, when the forward was asked to pick between the MLS or the Saudi Pro League he said: “If I had the same conditions, I WOULD GO TO MLS.“
