The Saudi Pro League’s influence on the transfer market continues to grow and this summer, they may be targeting one of Europe’s most talked-about strikers.
After weeks of quiet groundwork, one of the region’s top clubs has now taken a bold step forward.
Al-Hilal, who have already made headlines with high-profile signings in the past, have now submitted an official offer for a star long admired by top Premier League sides.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Al-Hilal have proposed a deal worth €70 million, with €65 million as a fixed fee and another €5 million in performance-based add-ons.
The ball is now in the court of the player’s current club, who must weigh their options carefully.
Behind the scenes, the Saudi outfit have already made contact with the striker’s representatives to discuss personal terms, including salary and contract structure.
That conversation reportedly began earlier this week, laying the groundwork for what could be one of the most significant exits from Europe this summer.
The player in question has been a target for Manchester United, who have monitored his situation closely.
He is known for his explosive pace, physical presence, and sharp finishing; traits that have made him one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe. Yes, it is Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian international has been a key figure at Napoli, helping the Serie A club reach new heights.
However, he has fallen out Antonio Conte, the current Napoli manager.
After a successful loan spell in the Turkish league with Galatasaray, the Victor Osimhen now wants to move on a permanent deal from Naples.
But this offer from Al-Hilal could be tempting for Napoli, especially given recent speculation around Osimhen’s future.
However, Osimhen’s release clause is reportedly higher. So, it remains to be seen whether Napoli will negotiate or accept the offer.
But what is clear is that Al-Hilal’s intent is serious and the summer transfer window just got a lot more interesting.
