Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal have booked travel arrangements and medical examinations for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen after agreeing a €75 million deal with Napoli, according to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The Saudi club is now waiting for Osimhen's approval to proceed with the transfer following their improved offer to Napoli, which was revealed on Friday.
"Al Hilal have booked travel and medical for Victor Osimhen, still waiting for his green light to the move. €75m deal in place with Napoli after new proposal revealed yesterday, depending on the player now," Romano confirmed via his X account on Saturday night.
Osimhen Returns to Nigeria Amid Transfer Speculation
BenriNews reported that the 26-year-old striker has returned to Nigeria as he contemplates his next career move. This development comes after a period of intense transfer speculation surrounding the Nigerian international.
Osimhen was reportedly close to joining Premier League side Chelsea last summer before eventually agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Turkish giants Galatasaray.
The latest offer from Al Hilal represents a significant development in Osimhen's transfer saga, especially after earlier reports suggested the Saudi club had withdrawn from negotiations due to the player's high salary demands.
This potential move to the Saudi Pro League would mark a new chapter in Osimhen's career, which has seen him emerge as one of the most sought-after strikers in world football following his impressive performances for Napoli in recent seasons.
The ball now appears to be in Osimhen's court as he weighs up this lucrative offer from Al Hilal against potential interest from European clubs.
