Al-Hilal has offered a massive package to lure Victor Osimhen into joining its team, while the option of signing Cristiano Ronaldo also remains.

According to a report from FootMercato, Al-Hilal has made a mouth-watering offer worth €120 million, for over three years, to lure Osimhen into joining its team. The Saudi Pro League outfit is keen on having Osimhen as part of its squad for the upcoming Club World Cup, which begins next month.

Osimhen will not prolong his stay in Turkey after a terrific season on loan at Galatasaray. The 26-year-old scored 36 goals in 40 games across all competitions to fire them to the league title. However, Napoli is believed to be unwilling to retain him, having just won the Serie A under Antonio Conte. Given that Osimhen has garnered a lot of interest from other top European clubs, Al-Hilal is desperate to sign the star striker as it dreams of having a successful Club World Cup campaign to compensate for its dethroning as Saudi champions by Al-Ittihad. Alternatively, it has also set its sight on Cristiano Ronaldo, who hinted that he is set to leave Al-Nassr.

The report from FootMercato also added that Juventus is keen on signing Osimhen this summer. Dusan Vlahovic has been put on the transfer market by the Turin outfit, while it is unlikely that it will sign PSG's on-loan forward Randal Kolo Muani permanently.

What next for Victor Osimhen?

The Nigeria international's future remains up in the air, with the likes of Juventus, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea linked with the Napoli forward. However, the Premier League clubs hold an advantage over the Bianconeri as it has been revealed that Osimhen has a €75m release clause. Not only does Juve have considerably lower financial power at the moment, but the teams from England would also be willing to offer a higher salary. So far, it's all speculation, and it remains to be seen where Osimhen ends up. (Goal)
