Al Hilal Push for Victor Osimhen as New Signing with €75m Clause in Play

Al Hilal want to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. The club is using his €75 million release clause. New manager Simone Inzaghi supports the transfer. Talks with Osimhen are happening as Al Hilal seeks a strong attack for the Saudi Pro League season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Victor Osimhen played on loan at Galatasaray last season. Now, Al Hilal wants to buy him in a big deal. Osimhen scored 37 goals last season, and he is leaving Napoli for good. Even though clubs like Manchester United, Juventus, and Chelsea showed interest, Al Hilal is in the lead. They have a three-year agreement with Osimhen. The club is trying to finish the deal by paying his €75m release clause. This will give coach Simone Inzaghi the strong scorer he needs.

AL HILAL’S AMBITIONS AND OSIMHEN’S PERFORMANCE

Al Hilal won the 2024/25 Saudi Pro League. Their attack was strong but needed a top striker. Osimhen scored 37 goals for Galatasaray last season. Signing him will fill that need and make them even stronger. Al Hilal wants to stay on top in domestic and international tournaments, like the FIFA Club World Cup. Their decision to push for Osimhen shows their ambition.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR AL HILAL AND OSIMHEN?

After winning the league, Al Hilal is planning for the future. Their next game might be the Saudi Super Cup against Al Nassr. Signing Osimhen will give them a big advantage. But they need to finish the deal first. For Napoli, this ends Osimhen’s time after great performances in Italy and Turkey. For Osimhen, moving to Saudi Arabia could be a smart choice. He would earn a lot and be a major star. Reports say he could earn €135 million over three years.
