Former Nigerian international, Christian Obodo has advised Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen to either remain in Europe or consider the lucrative offer from Saudi club Al Hilal. Obodo gave this counsel amid the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Osimhen’s future, following his reported rejection of a big-money move to the Saudi Pro League. Al Hilal had agreed to meet the strikers 75 million release clause and reportedly offered a salary of around 30 million per year. However, Osimhen declined the offer. After spending the season on loan at Turkish side Galatasaray, Osimhen has returned to Napoli. He is expected to leave the Italian club during the summer transfer window, and with the Saudi move apparently off the table, a potential transfer within Europe may be back in consideration. Speaking to Brila FM, Obodo urged Osimhen to make a decision he wont regret later in his career. I know Osimhen would still like to play European football and achieve a lot, but the clause Napoli placed on him and his high wages are scaring clubs away. These clubs dont want to make a decision that could backfire, said the former Fiorentina midfielder. Obodo also criticized how Nigerian players are often undervalued compared to their counterparts from other nations. Nigeria does not package their players well. If Osimhen were Brazilian, top European clubs would have signed him already. The way some Nigerians talk about their own players is not fair, he added.For me, its up to Osimhen to decide either compromise to stay in Europe or go to Al Hilal for the financial reward. Whatever he chooses, we should just hope he doesnt make a decision hell later regret, Obodo concluded.
