Al Hilal is preparing to invest €60 million for Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, shifting focus from Mohamed Salah to another prominent name.

Osimhen, with 27 goals and 5 assists in 32 matches, is a game-changer and has proven capable of making a significant impact in critical moments.

According to a post on the X app by top Football Transfer expert Nicolo Schira, Al Hilal has decided to expedite negotiations and has made a substantial offer for the player.

This €60 million bid is a considerable sum for the Nigerian striker, particularly as the Saudis seek to initiate discussions in a competitive market, which includes interest from Premier League giants.
