The implications should be considered for both his career and caf apoty rep. Plus he has haterz that will ring bells of fluke form even if it doesn't stick it will be loud. Those in saudi are those done with UEFA and at most won 1 UCL. He needs better uefa teammates and a better atmosphere in Europe imo

All these people advising osimehn to transfer to Saudi in his prime are indirectly accepting that he was only a “season wonder” you have a 25 year old at his prime that can win multiple European trophies including the premier league, Champions league etc and retire in a saudi league and your advising him to transfer at his prime. Why didn’t the likes of Messi, iniesta, drogba transferred to Money leagues in their prime? All these money leagues will be available even 10 years from now. But, your prime only lasts for few years. Osimehn has the ability to surpass drogba and some yes men are advising him to transfer to Saudi at his prime. Bunch of dullards

Napoleon55:

Leave them.

Money is extremely important in life, but sometimes in ur quest to get it u may end up in regrettable decision.

No one can blame him if he succumbs to Saudi offer,
and he should be praised if turns it down.

I hope whatever he decides favours him on the long run.

mostob:
Please which Onyeka? When did he move?

Odunayaw:
I am against him going to Saudi. However it's not difficult to imagine how tempting the monetary returns must be to him.

With what he is earning, he will never be poor again. But in the words of Emeritus Professor Lil Wayne , "too much money ain't enough money"

Icon4s:


Mbok, which nomination is this one, still.

lelion:
Sequel to our discussion here on the awards to the most detribalized Nigerians on this football thread, l would like to inform us that the price is now 200k and not 150k as intitially proposed. This is to enable every winner to atleast have something tangible given the galloping inflation in our country.
Thus, l am calling on @ TheSuperNerd,Charlesemeka, humility33, Chriskels, Majoribanks..etc and all those actively involved then on the discussions to expedite action and give us the 3 nominees as the thread decided.
Or, better still, provide an account number for me to transfer the money asap, because we are entering the Ember months and we all know how it happens with expenses.
Thanks

your first line isn’t exactly true sha

Mybettingtips:

It’s annoying reading what supposed learned football analysts are typing here. They want Osimhen to pick Saudi Arabia this early in his career. Boy is just 25 years old, he has long career to build in Europe. There’s epl, FA Cup, champions league to compete for. Big money leagues would spring up and come for him in the next 7-10 years when he’s done with Europe. Guys here are talking as if Osimhen is being paid peanut in Europe. He’s earning 240k or so in Napoli, Osimhen is not poor.

Chelsea offered Palmer and Jackson new contracts after just a year with bigger wages. They will give Osimhen a better contract if he decides to sign for them. He’s too young to move to Saudi League. Europe is where you make a name for yourself.

charlesemeka85:
so if osimhen happen to be your younger brother u go advise to turn down the Saudi offer and move to chelsea?😏😊

mrwilliams9:


Nna, I used to think this way until I realized no footballing career is promised. You can collect a career ending injury on your first day at a new club and that is that. Once your contract is up, you’re done.

Osimhen, in winning the Italian golden boot and Scudetto has done something most professional footballers have never done.

Playing time and funds may be promised when you sign your contract, but winning trophies isn’t.

To me, for Saudi to even come for you is still a sign of success if you think about it. There are thousands of players across Europe but only a handful are getting these bumper contracts.

Assuming the reports are to be believed about the €740K per week figure, it’s hard to tell someone to turn down that money. €130K a week is a lot but it’s almost 6x less than the Saudi offer.

Footballing legacy is a term people dangle to cover up what football has been about for the past 20-30 years; money. Football at the end of the day is a job first and foremost.

A lot of these pundits that talk about footballing legacy never had the chance to get this massive contracts from Saudi.

Footballers have a life after football. Some want to invest, build schools, start businesses etc. You need deep capital for that.

Bro just convert am to naira, na blood money 🤔

Hotepking:
This Osimhen matter is honestly tiring, he should go to Saudi if that's what he wants so we can hear word about this exhausting transfer saga already...but it will be on record that a supposed APOY at age 25 chose money over building a legacy just because of a wage cut offer at a far better league/club.

Tbh Osimhen is probably the most controversial top player we produced in a while, I won't kiss anyone's arse cause the truth has to be said...if the new coach can't handle his drama then he should be dropped for good, Nigeria will always have decent strikers anyway. Nigerian football is bigger than any persons ego or issues.

PDPGuy:
I bet if Chelsea increase their offer to €260k - €300k/week, Osimhen would jettison the Saudi offer..

Emmy450:
good morning house, I nominate
Bankygee
Kog45
Charlsemeka
Supernerd

Emmy450:
even a little above 200k he would accept

TheLoneCitizen:


The last sentence is a banker.

Drogba's success overshadowed by Mourinho.
Salah's success overshadowed by Klopp.
Haaland's success overshadowed by Pep.

Osimhen is going to Chelsea as a king, no blockbuster manager to contend with.
His ceiling is mega high.

Add to that, he's one of the most consistent players at national level.

charlesemeka85:
so if osimhen happen to be your younger brother u go advise to turn down the Saudi offer and move to chelsea?😏😊

Scoring just one goal 🥅 in the AFCON is not a hallmark of consistency.

zicky:
Just for the record book.

Alex iwobi has now scored in 10 consecutive EPL seasons.
Kanu is the only Nigerian with a better record (12)
