Osimhen Accepts Al Hilal Offer, Agrees Personal Terms With Saudi Club

Victor Osimhen has moved one step closer to finally sealing his permanent exit from Napoli.

According to goal.com, an agreement between Osimhen and Al-Hilal over personal terms is in place, with the striker set to be paid the equivalent of $35 million (£29m/$40m) as a base rate over the course of his contract.

But, despite the breakthrough with the player, Al-Hilal are still behind in reaching an agreement with Napoli.

The Saudi giants’ best offer is €70m (£59m/$80m) and Napoli want €75m (£63m/$86m).

Osimhen’s relationship wth Napoli soured last summer, although he still signed a new contract to 2026. That deal is now about to enter its final year, which limits the fee the new Serie A champions can demand for the Nigerian striker, who scored 37 goals during a loan at Galatasaray this past season.

Negotiations between the clubs over the transfer fee are set to continue.

If Al-Hilal are quick, they will be able to use Osimhen at the FIFA Club World Cup, with the mini-transfer window created for the early part of the summer before the tournament closing on June 10.
