Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal have reportedly set their sights on Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen as they look to bolster their attacking options.
The 19-time league champions are eager to reinforce their attacking options, identifying Victor Osimhen as a potential replacement for Aleksandar Mitrović.
The Serbian striker was recently hospitalised due to a “rapid heartbeat caused by physical stress,” and there is growing speculation that he could be released by the club at the end of the season.
According to reports from Turkey, the Blue Waves have begun negotiations with Osimhen’s Italian agent, George Gardi, who played a key role in facilitating the 26-year-old’s season-long loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray.
What will Al-Hilal have to pay to secure Victor Osimhen’s signature?
Al-Hilal will need to meet both Napoli’s financial demands and Victor Osimhen’s personal conditions to secure the striker’s signature this summer. With his release clause set to drop from €130 million to €75 million (£63m, $81m), the Nigerian forward is expected to attract significant interest.
However, the towering forward has reportedly outlined strict terms for any potential move—he is demanding a weekly wage of at least £250,000 and is only open to a permanent transfer, ruling out any loan deals.
Premier League giants Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal have been heavily linked with the Super Eagles striker in recent weeks, while Serie A powerhouse Juventus are reportedly eager to strengthen their attack with the former Lille forward.
Osimhen has been in impressive form for Galatasaray this season, registering 23 goals and five assists in 29 appearances across all competitions.
