  WHAT HAPPENED?

  It was reported that the 26-year-old had rebuffed Al-Hilal's previous offer of €30m per year, leading to speculation that Manchester United could entice the player to Old Trafford. The Saudi club have already triggered Osimhen's €75m release clause.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Al-Hilal had hoped to force a deal through before the Club World Cup, but their interest in the player remains strong. Napoli will be glad to see the player leave the club, after he spent the season on loan at Galatasaray.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  The news could represent another blow for the Red Devils' summer plans. While they have secured the services of Matheus Cunha, following a £62.5m deal with Wolves, United run the risk of missing out on their other high profile targets, Bryan Mbeumo, Viktor Gyokeres, and now Osimhen.

  WHAT NEXT FOR OSIMHEN?

  While Osimhen's decision to turn down Al-Hilal suggested he viewed his future in Europe, another €20m per year might just test his resolve. Now without the added pressure of the Club World Cup deadline, this particular transfer saga might just drag on for another few weeks, as Osimhen weighs up his options.
