Meanwhile, Fichajes reported that Saudi giants Al-Hilal have made a massive push to lure Osimhen. They've tabled a three-year offer—with an option for a fourth—worth €160 million net in salary, raising their annual proposal to €40 million, nearly quadruple what the Nigerian currently earns at Napoli. Al-Hilal, looking to bolster Simone Inzaghi's squad, are also targeting AC Milan left back Theo Hernández.
PSG could lose out on No. 9 optionDespite the big-money Saudi offer, Fichajes reported on Friday that Osimhen has made his preference clear: he wants to join Manchester United. The striker has reportedly ruled out staying at Napoli and is open to being part of the new project under Rubén Amorim, even without Champions League football next season.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, United remain firmly in the mix. The Italian outlet describes the club as having a 'burning magnetism' in their pursuit of Osimhen and still believe they can land him despite their European absence. Juventus have also entered the race, while Al-Hilal—despite previously being turned down—remain in the picture with their offer still standing.
Galatasaray, too, are hoping to bring Osimhen in on a permanent deal after his loan stint in Istanbul, though they appear to be long shots in a crowded field of suitors.

'Only thing I can say' – Enzo Maresca makes interesting comment when asked about Kudus
Enzo Maresca refused to comment on speculation about Mohammed Kudus, but admitted he has known the attacker since his Ajax days. Chelsea have already been busy this summer, and have signed Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro, with more new faces expected to follow.

Roma offer €25m for Wesley
Roma are reportedly getting closer to the signing of Wesley of Flamengo. The Giallorossi have in fact presented an offer of 25 million euros, including bonuses, to secure the services of the 2003-born winger, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport. Advertisement The player was also convinced by the direct pressure from Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma's new coach, who indicated the winger among his first transfer targets. Last summer, Wesley had already been close to joining Atalanta but the deal fell through. Now, a year later, the scenario has moved to the capital, with Roma ready to close the deal in the next few hours. The player has already given the green light for the transfer to take place. Wesley chose the Roman destination also thanks to the advice of a friend and former Giallorossi player, Gerson, who advised him to move to Serie A. However, the real decisive element was the central role that Gasperini intends to assign to him in the new Roma, a project that has thrilled the player. Advertisement According to leaks, the agreement is expected to be found on the basis of a loan with an obligation to buy, in a synergy between Roma and Everton. This formula would guarantee financial flexibility to the Roman club, while ensuring control of the player's rights. However, the definitive agreement with Flamengo, which has always valued the player at around 30 million, still needs to be defined. The Brazilian club is now examining the Roman offer, and the player's will could represent a decisive lever to lower Flamengo's financial demands. There is optimism for a positive conclusion in the near future.
