Saudi club, Al Hilal has made an official bid of €70 million to Napoli to sign Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen.

Italian transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, disclosed this on Thursday evening via a post on his official X account.

“Al Hilal has submitted an official bid to Napoli for Victor Osimhen as top target.

The proposal is worth €65m fixed fee plus €5m add-ons, the decision is up to Napoli now,” Romano wrote.

“This follows the story that was revealed yesterday (Wednesday) on Al Hilal being in contact with Osimhen over salary/personal terms.”

On Wednesday, Romano mentioned that Osimhen was a target for Al Hilal as they sought a new striker. Discussions were in progress to secure the Nigerian forward, and the €75m release clause was not seen as an obstacle.

The report also stated that Al Hilal was ready to offer the Super Eagles striker €30m salary per year.

The Nigerian International, currently on loan from Napoli, lit up the Super Lig at Galatasaray last season, scoring 25 goals and providing five assists in 29 games for the Turkish giants.

He is set to return to the Italian club this summer, where his contract expires in 2026.
