Al-Hilal are intensifying efforts to sign Nigeria international Victor Osimhen this summer, with their new manager, Simone Inzaghi, giving his approval for the transfer.
Osimhen spent last season on loan at Galatasaray and is set to return to Napoli.
However, the Super Eagles striker is expected to leave Naples on a permanent basis ahead of next season.
Al-Hilal are now exploring a possible move for Osimhen, who is also the subject of interest from top European clubs.
Osimhen has a release clause of around €75m in his current contract.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano wrote on X: “Victor Osimhen remains high on Al Hilal list as new striker, with talks ongoing to bring in the Nigerian forward.
“€75m release clause available, Al Hilal are working on player side for a target now also approved by Simone Inzaghi.”
Osimhen is currently on holiday after the regular season ended across Europe.
