Al-Hilal have reportedly submitted a fresh contract proposal to Victor Osimhen worth an astounding €160 million across a four-year deal.
The Saudi Pro League outfit have identified Osimhen as their priority transfer target for the 2025 summer window and they are eager to finalise an agreement for his signature after failing to convince him to join before the Club World Cup.
Al-Hilal will face competition from the likes of Chelsea, Galatasaray, Juventus, Liverpool and Manchester United, however they have far greater financial resources than their competitors and are confident of reaching an agreement once Osimhen returns from holiday.
The Nigeria international is set to become one of the highest-paid players in world football and he is now increasingly likely to move to Saudi Arabia this summer, despite the fact that Rio Ferdinand believes he will join Man Utd.
Osimhen has confirmed that he is being chased by multiple clubs and although reports have indicated that he would like to play in the Champions League next season, a move to Al-Hilal appears to be his most likely next step.
Al-Hilal determined to sign Victor Osimhen
Osimhen scored 37 goals in 41 appearances on loan at Galatasaray last season and he is guaranteed to leave Napoli on a permanent deal this summer after falling out with the club’s hierarchy, as per multiple reports.
In addition to Osimhen, Al-Hilal are also hoping to finalise a move for AC Milan defender Theo Hernandez, who is close to reaching an agreement to join the Saudi Pro League side, while Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay is on their radar too.
