Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen spoke on Podcast Obi One with former Chelsea player John Obi Mikel about the turbulent mercato with Saudi Arabia’s attempts. “I have to be honest, I never thought about leaving last summer because Napoli wanted to keep me, but when the offer came from Saudi Arabia, a huge offer, it was hard to refuse.I spoke to Napoli and decided to stay. It was crazy… The more I said no, the more they increased the financial offer. It would have changed my life, they never gave up. But I said, no guys, I’m staying. Of course you can. I had discussions in August, it was an important decision for me. I spoke to Napoli and we decided together to refuse. I didn’t want people to think I wanted to leave. It was a positive decision for my career. Even if you play soccer for money, there’s a lot more to it too,” revealed Serie A’s top scorer last season.
