FAHAD ATTERIBUTES AL-HILAL'S FAILURE TO SECURE OSIMHEN, OTHER MAJOR SIGNINGS TO "ILLOGICAL" COUNTERS OFFERS AND FATIGUE.

Al-Hilal president, Fahad Bin Nafal, has attributed the club’s failure to land Victor Osimhen and other major signings so far this summer to “illogical” counter offers and fatigue.

The Saudi Pro League side, which appointed Simone Inzaghi as their new manager, only days after he lost the Champions League final with Inter Milan, has been unsuccessful in their attempts to sign Osimhen, AC Milan defender Theo Hernandez and Manchester United midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, despite high financial packages being offered.

The club also failed to lure Cristiano Ronaldo from rivals, Al-Nassr, despite the attractive option of playing in the Club World Cup.

Bin Nafal said the club has spoken with many players, but they want to go on vacation after a long season.
