Al Hilal Chases Osimhen with €75M Deal , Waiting for Player’s Approval

Saudi Arabian powerhouse, Al Hilal are on the brink of completing a major signing, with a €75 million deal agreed with Napoli for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.

The clubs are aligned, the logistics are in motion, and travel plus medicals are already booked—but the final decision now rests with the player himself.

After weeks of negotiations, Al Hilal have agreed to meet Osimhen’s €75 million release clause, which Napoli have held firm on. This development followed a renewed proposal from the Saudi side earlier this week, which was accepted in principle by the Italian club.

Sources close to the matter report that the transfer will be executed immediately if Osimhen gives the green light, with the medical scheduled and travel arrangements already confirmed by the Saudi club.

“All is set from both clubs. The only pending step is Osimhen’s approval,” a club source confirmed.

According to multiple reports, Al Hilal have tabled an eye-watering contract offer:
• €30–35 million net salary per season,
• Performance-related bonuses,
• A contract until 2029.

This would make Osimhen one of the highest-paid players globally, surpassing many European stars and rivaling other big-money Saudi deals struck in recent years.

Osimhen, 26, has enjoyed a stellar few seasons, including a recent loan to Galatasaray, where he netted 26 league goals in 30 appearances.

While Al Hilal’s offer is unprecedented, sources suggest the striker is still weighing the move carefully, balancing financial gain with sporting ambition.

This is not the first time the Nigerian international has received interest from Saudi clubs—he previously turned down proposals over wage and career concerns.

However, with Napoli open to the sale and Al Hilal matching financial terms, pressure is now on Osimhen to make a decision.

“It’s no longer a negotiation between clubs. Osimhen’s word is the final one now,” Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

If he agrees, the Nigerian forward will soon be unveiled as Al Hilal’s marquee summer signing, joining a squad already stacked with global stars.

This move marks a continued Saudi push to lure top talent from Europe as the Pro League asserts itself on the world stage. For Osimhen, it could represent a defining career pivot—from Serie A stardom to becoming a centerpiece of Saudi football’s global rise.

But with Champions League clubs also reportedly circling, the decision won’t be easy.

With all contractual and logistical hurdles cleared, the €75M blockbuster is ready to go. Now, all eyes turn to Victor Osimhen—will he choose to become the next megastar in Saudi Arabia, or will he hold out for another European challenge?

The next 48 hours could decide one of the summer’s biggest football stories.
