Victor Osimhen has officially accepted a contract offer from Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal, agreeing to a lucrative deal reportedly worth €30-35 million per year over four years, with the total transfer package valued at an astonishing €195 million before taxes and bonuses.

The Nigerian striker’s personal terms with Al Hilal are settled, making him one of the highest-paid footballers globally, but the final transfer depends on Napoli’s acceptance of the transfer fee, with negotiations ongoing as the clubs are reportedly €5 million apart on valuation.

Osimhen is expected to travel soon to Paris for his medical and final signing ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, with Al Hilal pushing to complete the deal before the tournament starts on June 15, 2025.

This move marks a significant shift in Osimhen’s career, moving from a stellar loan season at Galatasaray to becoming a marquee signing in the Saudi Pro League, backed by strong financial support including Saudi government funding.
