The Saudi Pro League club pursued Osimhen in 2023, and the Nigerian forward even reached an agreement with Al-Ahli last summer, but Napoli demanded a higher transfer fee.

 

Al-Hilal has expressed interest in acquiring Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.

 

The club has set Friday as the deadline for his response.

 

Transfer specialist Ben Jacobs reports that Al-Hilal remains hopeful Osimhen will accept their offer.

 

There is growing confidence that the Nigerian will agree to a €30 million-per-season deal in time for the Club World Cup.

 

The Saudi Pro League team previously attempted to sign Osimhen in 2023, and he had also agreed terms with Al-Ahli last summer before Napoli increased their asking price.

 

Al-Hilal still holds a substantial budget, initially reserved for Mohamed Salah’s wages, and can activate Osimhen’s €75 million release clause.

 

They are now awaiting his final decision, expected soon.

 

Osimhen is also being pursued by elite European clubs, including Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, and Chelsea.

 

The 26-year-old spent the previous season on loan at Galatasaray.
