Transfer Update: Al Hilal Opens Talks For Osimhen

With just three months left in the 2024/2025 European football season, Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal has initiated discussions to sign Nigerian international Victor Osimhen, according to BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Osimhen came close to joining Al Ahli last summer, but the deal fell through on deadline day. Instead, he opted for a loan move to Turkish Super Lig club Galatasaray from Napoli.

Napoli’s board is now actively working on his transfer to avoid a repeat of last summer’s complications.

Al Hilal has formally opened talks to bring the prolific striker to their squad next season. If the move goes through, Osimhen will follow in the footsteps of former Nigerian international Odion Ighalo, who previously played for the club.
