Al Hilal close in on Osimhen as Napoli reportedly accept €75M Transfer Deal

Victor Osimhen could soon be Saudi-bound, as reports suggest Napoli have verbally agreed to sell the Nigerian striker to Al Hilal for €75 million—a fee below his original release clause. The deal, however, hinges on swift payment by June. The Super Eagles star, who has netted 31 goals and registered 5 assists on loan at Galatasaray, is one of the most sought-after strikers this summer. But with Napoli looking to fund a squad rebuild, club president Aurelio De Laurentiis is ready to cash in.

Saudi Temptation vs. European Ambition

Despite interest from Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United, Osimhen has yet to commit to his next destination. His priority reportedly remains top-tier European football, particularly the UEFA Champions League. However, Al Hilal's staggering salary offer—rumored at £750,000 per week—could prove too lucrative to ignore.

The 26-year-old would join a growing list of global stars in the Saudi Pro League, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Jhon Durán, potentially setting up a Golden Boot battle in the Gulf.

Napoli Under Pressure

With Khvicha Kvaratskhelia already out and missed transfer targets in January, new Napoli manager Antonio Conte is pushing for reinforcements—making Osimhen’s sale essential to their summer plans.
