Saudi Arabian football club Al Hilal has made significant progress in their pursuit of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
The club have reportedly arranged both his medical examinations and travel plans.
This development comes after Al Hilal reached a new agreement with Napoli, with the deal said to be worth €75 million.
According to respected football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who disclosed the update on his official X (formerly Twitter) page late Saturday, the only hurdle remaining is the player’s personal consent.
Romano stated, “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.”
This means that although both clubs have settled the financial details of the deal, Osimhen himself has yet to give his approval before the transfer can proceed.
If the Super Eagles forward agrees, the move could be one of the most talked-about transfers involving an African player this summer.
Fans are now keeping a close watch as Osimhen considers whether to trade the Italian Serie A for the lucrative Saudi Pro League.
