Ighalo Reveals The Club He Wanted Victor Osimhen To Join

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.”

Transfer: He’s In Pains – Ighalo Blasts Nigerians Over Osimhen’s Failed Napoli Exit

Odion Ighalo, a former Super Eagles striker, has hit out at Nigerians over their comments on social media, after Victor Osimhen failed to seal a move away from Napoli.

Osimhen has been frozen out at the Serie A club following the collapse of transfer talks with Chelsea.

The situation led to mixed reactions from fans on the Internet, with many criticizing the player and his entourage.

But Ighalo wrote on X on Sunday morning: “No human being is perfect and we have all made mistakes in life.

“But seeing comments about this young man from his own country people makes me really sad, without even knowing what happened.

“I spoke to him and I can feel the pain in his voice, the way he’s been treated, this young man play with heart and pains for his country.

“Hmmm it’s well, he will definitely be back stronger, we learn everyday in life. Happy New Month to y’all.”
