Al Hilal make concrete approach for Nigeria star Victor Osimhen

Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal have reportedly expressed concrete interest in Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen as they explore the possibility of bringing the Nigerian international to the Middle East.

According to reports, Al Hilal have already made inquiries regarding the conditions of a potential deal for the 27-year-old forward.

Galatasaray are reportedly open to selling Osimhen and have placed a valuation of around €65 million on their star striker, potentially paving the way for negotiations between the two clubs.

However, the proposed move is dependent on Al Hilal creating space in their squad. The Saudi club would reportedly need to part ways with French striker Karim Benzema before they can complete a move for Osimhen.

The Nigerian’s own decision will also be crucial, with his willingness to continue his career in Saudi Arabia expected to play a major role in determining whether the transfer goes ahead.

Osimhen enjoyed an impressive campaign with Galatasaray last season, scoring 28 goals and providing eight assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.

His performances have continued to attract interest from clubs outside Europe, while his market value is currently estimated at €75 million by Transfermarkt.

With Al Hilal now reportedly showing concrete interest, Osimhen could face a major decision over his future as the Saudi club considers making him their next high-profile attacking addition.
