Former Super Eagles midfielder Christian Obodo has advised Victor Osimhen to carefully weigh his next move ahead of the striker’s potential $35 m per year Al Hilal deal. Obodo emphasised that Osimhen should either remain in Europe to [solidify](http://propwiki.org/index.php?title=User:FinlayLiversidge) his top-level status or secure his future in Saudi Arabia with a lucrative contract. +
+
Speaking earlier this year, Obodo noted that Europe’s elite leagues offer growth and exposure, but he admitted the financial appeal of the Middle East can be compelling. "If he gets a better option in a good league like La Liga or Premier League, he should go," he stated. +

Any decision now follows a dramatic few weeks [Osimhen](http://bt-13.com/index.php/User:AntoniettaColby) has [reportedly declined](https://classihub.in/author/odetteholub/) Al Hilal’s final 650,000 £/week offer (€35 m net annually), fuelling speculation he may stay in Europe possibly joining Galatasaray or or accept the [Saudi-rich contract](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/interviews/champions-league-spot-a-big-motivation-for-forest-awoniyi/) later. +

We share Christian Obodo’s balanced perspective. At 26, Osimhen stands at a crossroads between ambition and reward. Remaining in Europe respects his status, ensures elite competition, and grows his legacy. Yet the [financial security](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/player-health-and-injuries/) of Saudi’s offer is hard to ignore. There’s no wrong choice but rationale and clarity matter. +
+
Obodo’s counsel resonates: do not rush. If staying means consistent minutes in the Champions League, enhanced visibility and national team readiness, then that should guide the choice. But if top-flight Europe remains uncertain, then taking Saudi’s deal secures not just wealth but freedom to define his future without pressure. +

The clubs should also play their part. Whether it’s Napoli, Galatasaray, Juventus, PSG, or others, each must present Osimhen with a coherent plan a starring role, European ambition, and conditions worthy of his talent and earned salary. +
+
Above all, the onus is on Osimhen and his advisors to choose not just on money, but on timing, identity and legacy. Obodo’s message is right: there should be no regrets only opportunities grasped and futures shaped. +
