Report Osimhen agrees Al-Hilal personal terms, but Napoli want 75m

Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Victor Osimhen has agreed personal terms with Al-Hilal, but are still €5m off the Napoli demand.

The striker had rejected a previous proposal reported to be worth €26m per season to sign with the Saudi Pro League side.

Negotiations continued today and Di Marzio insists that there was a breakthrough, with the Nigeria international accepting the terms.

It came after new coach Simone Inzaghi, formerly of Inter, called Osimhen personally to convince him to make this step.

There is no deal yet, because Napoli want the full €75m of his release clause, although the bid is now a lot closer at €70m.

This is an improvement on the opening bid of €65m plus bonuses, which was rejected outright.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan last summer when the transfer window for the big five European Leagues had already closed.

Although the Turkish team did try to keep him on a permanent basis with a high offer, it was not enough to match the funds available for Al-Hilal.
