Galatasaray have reduced their asking price for Victor Osimhen to €65m, following interest from Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, according to Turkish outlet Haberler, citing Sky Sports.

Al Hilal are said to have reached out to the Turkish champions to establish the terms of a possible deal for the Nigerian international, who only completed a permanent move to Galatasaray from Napoli after a successful loan spell.

Haberler reported that Galatasaray have not entirely shut the door on a sale, with the club demanding €65m should a suitor meet their valuation.

The report added that the final decision would ultimately rest with Osimhen himself, as any deal would require Al Hilal to convince the striker to relocate to Saudi Arabia in addition to agreeing terms with Galatasaray.

Al Hilal are reportedly planning to create room in their squad for the move by parting ways with Karim Benzema, with the Saudi club expected to accelerate contacts with Osimhen’s camp in the coming days.

Should he remain in Turkey, Osimhen is expected to lead Galatasaray’s push for a third successive Super Lig title, with bookmakers Sportingbet still installing the Istanbul club as favourites at odds of 2.00, ahead of Fenerbahce at 2.75, Besiktas at 7.00 and Trabzonspor at 12.00.

Osimhen has scored 59 goals in 74 appearances since joining Galatasaray, and finds himself facing renewed competition domestically after Trabzonspor added Mohamed Salah to partner Paul Onuachu, while Fenerbahce brought in Mason Greenwood and Romelu Lukaku to strengthen their own attack. (PUNCH)
