Will Osimhen join forces with Man City star at Al Hilal this summer?

Soccer

Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal have returned to the market for the signature of Nigerian international Victor Osimhen, who has been impressive at the club level, Soccernet.ng reports.

However, contrary reports suggest that the Super Eagles attacker has not yet decided on which club to join for the 2025–26 season campaign.

New reports from Nexus Sports suggest that the Saudi Arabian side are also looking to lure Portuguese forward Bernardo Silva to Riyadh this summer.

Although no figure has been placed around his move, it is believed that if the midfielder accepts the deal and Osimhen decides to move to Saudi Arabia, both players could be donning the same jersey for a while.

According to Fabrizio Romano and many UK media sites, Osimhen has accepted a deal to join Al Hilal, with medicals to follow.

However, Soccernet.ng understands that Osimhen has returned to Nigeria to enjoy his holiday and has not made a decision on his next club.

Osimhen was in a similar situation with Napoli last summer when he had a fallout with the club’s management, which led to a season-long loan move to Galatasaray.

At the Super Lig club, Osimhen continued his fine form, firing on all cylinders and notching a total of 37 goals in 41 appearances. He played a key role in securing a Turkish League title and a Turkish Cup for the Yellow-Reds.

Once again, reports have begun to circulate regarding Osimhen’s destination, but authoritatively, Soccernet.ng understands that the Super Eagles talisman has yet to make a move or accept any deal.

Having both Osimhen and Silva at Al Hilal would require a major effort, but if it materialises, the club could be in pole position to secure the Saudi Pro League title.
