Saudi club Al-Hilal have handed Victor Osimhen a Friday deadline to respond to their transfer request.

The Blue Waves are prepared to trigger the €75m release clause in Osimhen’s contract.

The Turkish side have also dangled a contract worth €30m per season at the Nigeria international.

According to transfer expert, Ben Jacobs, Al-Hilal are optimistic of a positive answer from the striker.

The former Saudi Pro League champions first made an attempt to sign Osimhen in January 2023.

Osimhen agreed to join another Saudi club, Al-Ahli last summer, only for Napoli to ask for more money.
