While the footballer is yet to decide, the report of Al Ahli's offer, which includes a staggering €30 million (approx. N53 billion) annual salary over four years for Osimhen, has caused an uproar on the Nigerian social media space.

Frank Edoho advises Osimhen

The media personality, a Chelsea fan, acknowledged that while he would love to see Osimhen at Stamford Bridge, he would prefer that the Napoli star sign a deal with Al Ahli.

According to Edoho, Osimhen may not get such a mouth-watering offer if he moves to Chelsa and struggles to score goals.

"As a Chelsea fan, of course I would want to see @victorosimhen9 at Chelsea but as a Nigerian, I'd say,"Victor, are you nuts? Take the damed money and go to Saudi". If he comes to Chelsea or PSG, and he doesn't hit those numbers anymore, he'll start getting offers from Bournemouth next season," Edoho wrote.

badmanmilly:

"The only thing that would stop him is injury, victor has massive talent and he should remain in Europe for another 5-6 years. He can go to Saudi when he is 30 years plus."

"I also like the big money - the problem is the road to Saudi only leads to retirement That’s not the ideal path for a 25 year old reigning king of football in Africa and 8th best player in the world."

"Saudi Arabia is the best option. Money first."

Osimhen should have taken a pay cut and moved to Chelsea - Football fan

According to Paulo, Victor Osimhen should have taken a pay cut and joined Chelsea if he had known he wouldn’t be going to Saudi.

"As it stands now if he can’t secure a move away to Saudi in the next two days, everybody involved will be losers. Chelsea because they didn’t get their man, Napoli, because they will probably be paying someone they now consider surplus to requirement and Osimhen because he will lose at least four months of competitive football, eventually leading to that pay cut he was initially avoiding," he added.
