Osimhen agrees a three year deal with Saudi Arabia club...
Reports are circulating that Victor Osimhen has agreed to a three-year deal with Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal. While an official announcement has not yet been made, multiple sources indicate that personal terms are largely agreed upon.
Here's a summary of the situation:
* Club: Al-Hilal (Saudi Pro League)
* Contract: Reportedly a three-year deal, with varying figures for his annual salary, ranging from around €17.5 million to €40 million, potentially totaling up to €120 million over the contract period.
* Current Status: Osimhen is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli. His release clause at Napoli is reported to be €75 million.
* Key Hurdle: The finalization of the transfer is said to be awaiting approval from Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Sports, specifically the "financial viability" committee, to release the necessary government funds.
* Player's Desire: Osimhen has reportedly expressed a personal desire to join Al-Hilal.
* Other Interest: While Premier League clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United, and even Juventus, have been linked with Osimhen, reports suggest that the financial offers from Saudi Arabia are difficult for European clubs to match. There are also reports of newly promoted Saudi club NEOM entering the race with an even higher offer.
* Club World Cup: Al-Hilal is reportedly keen to complete the signing before the FIFA Club World Cup, which commences on June 15.
Galatasaray fans have reportedly made significant efforts to persuade Osimhen to stay, including a billboard in Times Square, but it appears his move to Saudi Arabia is increasingly likely.
