Victor Osimhen Said He Would Rather Go To MLS Than Join The Saudi Pro League by AImiron(op): 5:23pm On Oct 26, 2023
Victor Osimhen would prefer to move to MLS to play with Lionel Messi than make a move to the Saudi Pro League after being linked with Al-Hilal.

The Nigerian striker was pursued by Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal during the summer but their offer was rebuffed by Napoli who were keen to hold on to their talismanic goal-scorer after capturing the Scudetto in the 2022-23 campaign. However, Osimhen is yet to sign an extension with the club with his current deal expiring in 2025 which has led to continued speculation about his future.

In a Twitch interview with Emiliano Viviano and former Italy forward Mario Balotelli, when the forward was asked to pick between the MLS or the Saudi Pro League he said: "If I had the same conditions, I WOULD GO TO MLS."

Saudi pro league na league of semi-finished and finished players, they are playing against part time footballers, I just laugh when penadogs create threads here to celebrate the desert fraud whenever he scores against AL MAKURA FC, shame no dey catch una…. Jude Bellingham go score average 5 goals per match if e ever enter that league, make I no even mention Mbappe, dem Dey even compare goals scored in Europe to the desert hahaha, one goal in Europe equals 5 in the desert….

Make shame dey catch una small small. No sane players wey still have future go play in Saudi 😂😂, except players that are satisfied with their career so far…

This couldn’t be Messi Factor or Ronaldo.

Why would a free mind person or a christian choose Saudi Arabia where there are a lot of religious restrictions ahead of United States where there is a lot of freedom and opportunities.

Football is not about Messi or Ronaldo. Osimhen has been playing football before the Messi-Ronaldo thingy

His statement will hurt Ronaldo fans, they'll soon start pointing out Osimeh's flaws. And what did he do? He let us know his opinion, he should wear helmet whenever he's logging in into his social media accounts

In life never say NEVER, you don't know how opportunity may present itself.

Always keep your options open.

but in the interview, he never said he will like to play with Messi. also, you deliberately left out much part of the article from the link you shared:

"They are trying to develop their league, which is good. One [Ronaldo] of the greatest of all time has gone there. Because of his [Ronaldo's] influence, they have attracted a lot of talented players to also go there. So for me it's really good, they are trying to build their league into one of the best. For me they are doing something amazing."

"IF HE HAD THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES "
