Al-Hilal manager Simone Inzaghi has personally contacted Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in an attempt to convince the Nigerian international to join the Saudi Arabian club, according to reports.
The Saudi Pro League side has significantly increased their offer to Osimhen, now proposing personal terms worth €4 million per year. Club officials believe Inzaghi's direct involvement in sharing the club's project could be the decisive factor in securing the 26-year-old's signature.
Record-Breaking Potential Move
Should Osimhen accept the offer and move to Al-Hilal, he would become the highest-earning Nigerian footballer in history, surpassing Odion Ighalo's previous record. Ighalo claimed this title after his transfer to Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua in February 2019, where he reportedly earned more than €12.1 million per season.
Al-Hilal appears ready to trigger the €75 million release clause in Osimhen's contract with Napoli, signaling their serious intent to bring the prolific striker to Saudi Arabia.
Decision Time for Osimhen
Osimhen is currently on holiday following the conclusion of his loan spell at Turkish giants Galatasaray. The former Lille forward is expected to make a decision about his future in the coming days as interest in his services continues to grow.
The Nigerian striker has established himself as one of Europe's most sought-after forwards following his impressive performances for Napoli, particularly during their Serie A title-winning 2022/23 campaign.
This potential move comes amid growing interest from Saudi Pro League clubs in attracting top talent from European leagues with lucrative financial packages.
