Victor Osimhen has agreed to join top Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal from Napoli.
The lucrative contract will be for three years.
He will therefore be available for this month’s FIFA Club World Cup later this month in the USA, where they will open their campaign against mighty Real Madrid on June 18.
Top Saudi Arabian journalist, Abdullah Al-Hunayan, of Al-Riyadh reported that Al Hilal have reached “a definitive agreement” with Osimhen.
“The management of Al Hilal has reached a definitive agreement with Nigerian striker Osimhen to represent the club for the next three seasons,” the journalist posted on X
Last week, the fans of the Riyadh club also announced Osimhen will be a new signing for their darling club.
Additional reporting by Sacha Tavolieri of Sky Sport Switzerland is that Osimhen will now fly out to Paris to complete his transfer to Saudi Arabia.
It is understood that Al Hilal could pay him an annual salary of as much as 45 Million Euros, even Galatasaray, the club he played on loan this past season, insisted such an investment would need the approval of the higher authorities.
Last summer, Osimhen was close to joining another Saudi club, Al Ahli, before the transfer collapsed at the last minute when Napoli demanded for more cash.
