Al Hilal has emerged as the latest Saudi Arabian club to present a staggering financial proposal to Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, hoping to lure him away from his current club, Napoli, during the upcoming summer transfer window.
This bold move is part of a broader trend among Saudi teams, which have been making headlines with their extravagant offers to top players around the world. If successful, Osimhen’s transfer could not only elevate Al Hilal’s roster but also further underscore the growing influence of the Saudi Pro League in the global football landscape.
Osimhen’s loan deal at Turkish champions Galatasaray will end this summer and speculations are rife where he will take his scoring boots to.
Last summer, he was very close to joining another Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli, but at the last minute Napoli caused it to collapse after they increased their asking price.
According to Corriere dello Sport, top Riyadh club Al Hilal have tabled before Osimhen an “indecent” salary of between 30 and 35 Million Euros-a-year.
This is moe than double what he currently receives at Galatasaray.
Al Hilal also want him to feature at the expanded FIFA Club World Cup in the United States of America next month.
Osimhen will also reunite with Senegal star Kalidou Koulibaly at the nine-time Saudi champions, who again look set to miss out on the league championship this season.
