Victor Osimhen is closing in on a high-profile move to Al Hilal, with the Nigerian forward expected to lead the line when the Saudi side faces Real Madrid at the Club World Cup on June 18.
Spanish outlet Diario AS reports that Osimhen has accepted a lucrative offer from Al Hilal, said to be worth between €30 million and €35 million after tax. If confirmed, the deal would place him among the highest-paid players in global football.
The prolific striker netted an impressive 37 goals for Galatasaray during a loan spell from Napoli this season. Despite Napoli’s Serie A success, the Italian club is reportedly eager to part ways with Osimhen and has set a clear path for his exit by honoring his €75 million release clause.
Al Hilal’s acquisition of Osimhen is seen as a major boost ahead of their Club World Cup campaign. The 26-year-old’s potential debut against European champions Real Madrid adds an extra layer of intrigue to the already highly anticipated tournament fixture.
