Major transfer on the horizon: Saudi giant targets Galatasaray leader
Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen may be set for a club switch, with his career possibly continuing in the Middle East.
Details: According to insider Sacha Tavolieri, Saudi club Al Hilal have expressed concrete interest in Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen and have already inquired about the terms of a potential transfer. Istanbul's Galatasaray is open to selling their star striker and values him at around €65 million.
However, for this move to materialize, Al Hilal's management first needs to part ways with French striker Karim Benzema to free up a spot for the Nigerian’s arrival. A key factor in the potential deal will be Osimhen’s own willingness to make the move to Saudi Arabia.
It's worth noting that last season, the Nigerian forward played 33 matches for Galatasaray across all competitions, scoring 28 goals and providing 8 assists. According to Transfermarkt, the player's market value stands at €75 million.
Reminder: Boom! Darwin Núñez could once again play alongside Mohamed Salah!
