Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, marking a significant step toward his departure from Napoli.
According to reports, Osimhen has accepted a contract that would see him earn between €30 million and €35 million net per season through 2029, positioning him among the highest-paid footballers globally.
Al-Hilal has tabled a €70 million bid for the 26-year-old forward, just shy of Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis’s €75 million release clause. Negotiations are ongoing, but optimism remains high that an agreement will be finalized soon.
Osimhen’s potential move follows a prolific loan spell at Galatasaray, where he netted 37 goals in 41 appearances across all competitions. His performances have reignited interest from top clubs, but Al-Hilal’s substantial financial package appears to have swayed the striker’s decision.
Should the transfer proceed, Osimhen will join a growing list of high-profile players transitioning to the Saudi Pro League, further elevating the league’s competitive stature on the global stage.
The move also positions Al-Hilal as a formidable contender in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, set to commence on June 18, where they could potentially face European giants like Real Madrid.
