Al Hilal is continuing its pursuit of Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen, with ongoing negotiations to sign the striker. The Saudi club is working closely with the player’s representatives to secure his transfer, having already obtained approval from their target manager, Simone Inzaghi. Osimhen, who plays as a centre-forward, has a release clause worth €75m. Inzaghi, who is set to join Al Hilal as the new head coach, has given his backing to the signing. According to recent reports, Inzaghi is expected to leave his current role at Inter Milan to take up the position at Al Hilal.

His backing of Osimhen’s signing has been crucial in Al Hilal’s pursuit of the Nigerian forward.
