Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly set to undergo a medical with Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal after reaching a €75 million agreement with Napoli.
According to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Al Hilal have already scheduled medical tests and travel arrangements for the Nigerian forward, who is expected to make a final decision soon.

The deal would see Osimhen join the Riyadh-based club ahead of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which kicks off on June 15 in the United States.
“Victor Osimhen arrives in Nigeria today from Istanbul as he will inform clubs on his decision soon,” Romano posted on his X account on Saturday night.
“Al Hilal are prepared to seal the deal with medical tests booked to bring him to the FIFA Club World Cup, waiting for his final decision by tomorrow.”
Romano confirmed that Al Hilal are waiting for Osimhen’s approval to proceed, despite having reached a full agreement with Napoli.
“Al Hilal have booked travel and medical for Victor Osimhen; still waiting for his green light to the move,” Romano wrote.
“€75m deal in place with Napoli after new proposal revealed, depending on the player now.”
Earlier, Romano had reported that Al Hilal submitted a €70 million bid to Napoli, comprising a €65 million fixed fee and €5 million in add-ons. Napoli later accepted an improved €75 million offer.
Osimhen, 26, spent last season on loan at Turkish giants Galatasaray, where he had a phenomenal season.
He scored 37 goals and provided eight assists in 41 appearances across all competitions, helping Galatasaray clinch the Turkish Super Lig title and Turkish Cup.
