🚨 Victor Osimhen Now Al-Hilal's Top Target Ahead of Club World Cup

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal have made Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen their top transfer target ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, according to multiple reports from Europe and the Middle East.

Al-Hilal are reportedly prepared to activate Osimhen’s €75 million release clause and have tabled an eye-watering offer of €30 million per season to lure him away from Napoli. However, Osimhen is currently on loan at Galatasaray, where he has enjoyed an outstanding season and is leading their frontline with 26 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions.

Sources close to the negotiations reveal that Al-Hilal have given Osimhen and his representatives a deadline of June 10 — the closing date of the Saudi transfer window — to make a decision on the offer. The club is eager to secure the 26-year-old’s services before the Club World Cup begins later this year.

Osimhen’s performances on loan in Turkey have reignited interest from top European clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Juventus — all of whom are reportedly considering activating his release clause this summer. Despite this, Al-Hilal’s lucrative offer could prove tempting, especially given the opportunity to compete on the global stage at the Club World Cup.

Al-Hilal’s aggressive pursuit comes in the wake of their failed bid to sign Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes, who opted to remain in Europe despite a substantial offer from the Saudi club. Determined to land a marquee signing, Al-Hilal have now shifted their focus entirely to Osimhen as they seek to strengthen their squad ahead of the prestigious tournament.

Previously, Osimhen has turned down offers from Saudi clubs, including a €40 million-per-year proposal from Al-Hilal. However, the Club World Cup’s profile and Al-Hilal’s ambition might sway his decision this time around.

Osimhen’s final decision will have major implications for his career and for Al-Hilal’s hopes of challenging the world’s best at the Club World Cup. With just days left in the Saudi transfer window, all eyes are on the Nigerian star as he weighs his options between Europe’s top leagues and the Saudi Pro League.
