Victor Osimhen-Al Hilal Deal Stalls, Galatasaray Still in Pursuit

The proposed move of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal appears to have collapsed, with no direct contact or progress reported since Sunday. Despite initial optimism, sources close to the deal confirm that negotiations have gone quiet over the past 24 hours, putting the once-anticipated transfer in serious doubt.

Osimhen, currently contracted with Napoli, is now reassessing his options as the summer transfer window begins to heat up. The 25-year-old has been open about seeking a new challenge, especially after a turbulent season marked by injuries and managerial instability at the Serie A club.

Galatasaray has remained consistently interested in securing the striker's signature, and with Al Hilal temporarily out of the picture, the Turkish giants are expected to intensify their pursuit. Other European clubs are also reportedly monitoring the situation as Osimhen re-emerges as one of the top forwards potentially available this summer.

With no formal agreement reached and Napoli not ruling out a sale, the race for Osimhen’s signature is wide open again. As it stands, the player will weigh all viable offers in the coming weeks, with his next destination still very much undecided.
