Victor Osimhen Nears Al-Hilal Switch: Personal Terms Agreed, Mega Contract Revealed
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia / Lagos, Nigeria – June 7, 2025 – The highly anticipated transfer saga of Nigerian superstar striker Victor Osimhen appears to be reaching its climax. Multiple reputable sources, including Sky Sports and Football Italia, are reporting a significant breakthrough: Victor Osimhen has agreed to personal terms with Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal.
This development marks a huge step towards his departure from Napoli, though a final agreement between the two clubs is still the last hurdle.
Key Contract Details for Victor Osimhen (Reported):
- Annual Salary: Osimhen is set to receive an eye-watering annual salary. Reports vary slightly, but figures suggest a net annual salary of between €30 million and €40 million (approximately $35 million USD), plus additional bonuses. Some reports even cite a figure of €40 million net per season plus €5 million in add-ons. This deal would make him one of the highest-paid footballers globally.
- Contract Length: The proposed contract is believed to be for three years, potentially running until 2028 or 2029.
- Overall Value: Over the course of the three-year deal, his base salary could total €90 million to €120 million, making it a truly massive financial commitment from Al-Hilal.
Current Status of the Transfer:
- Personal Terms Agreed: This is the crucial update. Osimhen has reportedly accepted the lucrative offer from Al-Hilal, indicating his willingness to move to the Saudi Pro League.
- Club-to-Club Negotiations Ongoing: Despite the agreement with the player, Al-Hilal and Napoli are still in final negotiations over the transfer fee.
- Napoli’s Stance: Napoli is holding firm on their €75 million release clause for Osimhen, which became active from July 2025 following his contract extension last summer. They are reportedly unwilling to negotiate a single Euro less.
- Al-Hilal’s Latest Offer: Al-Hilal has reportedly increased their bid to €70 million. The remaining €5 million gap is the final obstacle to a full agreement.
- Napoli’s Stance: Napoli is holding firm on their €75 million release clause for Osimhen, which became active from July 2025 following his contract extension last summer. They are reportedly unwilling to negotiate a single Euro less.
- FIFA Club World Cup Deadline: Al-Hilal is keen to finalize the deal quickly, aiming to register Osimhen in time for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which kicks off on June 15, 2025. The mini-transfer window for the tournament reportedly closes on June 10.
- Medical Tests: There are reports that medical tests for Osimhen are being organized, with some sources suggesting they could happen as early as Sunday. Osimhen himself reportedly flew to Nigeria today from Istanbul to make his final decision.
- Previous European Interest: While Osimhen reportedly had his heart set on a move to the Premier League (with clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea previously linked), concrete offers from these European giants did not materialize, paving the way for Al-Hilal’s aggressive pursuit.
Osimhen’s Recent Form:
The 26-year-old striker is coming off an exceptional loan spell with Galatasaray, where he scored an impressive 37 goals and provided eight assists in 41 competitive games across all competitions this past season, leading them to a Turkish Super Lig title.
Should the final agreement between the clubs be reached, Victor Osimhen’s move to Al-Hilal will represent one of the most significant transfers of the summer, ushering in a new chapter in his already remarkable career in the financially burgeoning Saudi Pro League. Football fans worldwide will be keenly watching for the official announcement in the coming days.
