On the map of the football world, the Saudi League is rising at an astonishing speed and becoming a new hot land for all kinds of stars to yearn for. Just recently, a shocking football news came out: According to Saudi media ariyadhiah, Riyadh Crescent has reached a franchise agreement with Nigerian striker Osmeen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray! Starting next month's Club World Cup, the top scorer will wear Riyadh Crescent's jersey and start a new football journey. In order to get him, Riyadh Crescent will pay a termination fee of up to 75 million euros to Naples, and the two parties will sign a contract for three years.

26-year-old Osmaine is undoubtedly one of the hottest forwards in football today. He started his career from Wolfsburg, and went to Charleroi and Lille. When he played for Lille, he attracted the attention of many giants with his amazing performance of scoring 18 goals and sending 6 assists in 38 games. In 2020, Naples spent 75 million euros to recruit him, and since then, Osmeen began to make his mark in the Serie A stadium.

After joining Galatasaray on loan this season, Osmeen ushered in another highlight moment in his career. He seemed to have been injected with endless goal energy, played in 39 games, scored 35 goals, and contributed 8 assists. In the Turkish Cup final, he scored twice, helping the team defeat Trabzon Sports 3-0 and winning the championship; in the league, he was also the team's offensive core, leading Galatasaray to make great strides, leading second place Fenerbahce in the standings by 8 points, and winning the championship is in sight. In the Europa League, he was not afraid of a strong team like Tottenham. He used his wonderful performance of scoring twice to help the team overturn their opponents 3-2, and once again proved his terrifying goal-scoring ability to the world.

His excellent physical fitness is as strong as a wall, making it difficult for defensive players to resist; his cheetah-like speed can instantly tear open the opponent's defense line; his superb shooting skills, whether it is a goalkeeper who grabs points in front of the goal, strong volleys or clever pushes, are easy to use, making the goalkeeper unable to defend. On the court, he is like a goal machine, threatening his opponent's goal at all times.

Now, Riyadh Crescent successfully recruited Osmeon under his command, and this deal will undoubtedly cause storms in the football world. The 75 million euro termination fee demonstrates Riyadh Crescent's extreme desire for this top shooter and his determination to win. For Osmeen, this is also a brand new challenge and opportunity. Although the Saudi League may not be comparable to the top European leagues in competitive terms, it has generous treatment, enthusiastic fans and broad business development space.

From the start of the Club World Cup next month, Osmaine will play for the Riyadh Crescent. At that time, he will work with the team to showcase the new look of Saudi football on the stage in Asia and even the world. For Riyadh Crescent, Osmeen's joining will undoubtedly greatly enhance the team's forward strength, allowing them to have stronger competitiveness in the domestic league, AFC Champions League and even the Club World Cup.

For European giants such as Manchester United and Juventus, this time he joins Riyadh Crescent, it may make them feel extremely regretful. But the football world is so full of variables. Every choice of a player can change the direction of his career.

Osmayen joins Riyadh Crescent, which is not only a player transfer transaction, but also an important milestone in the development of Saudi football. It heralds another solid step in the Saudi league's path to attracting top stars. In the future, we have reason to look forward to that with the help of Osmaine and other stars, Saudi football will shine even more dazzlingly on the international stage.
