Al Hilal Targets Osimhen to Replace Benzema

Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal is actively seeking to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen as they plan to offload former Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema before the end of the current summer transfer window. Osimhen has shown exceptional performance since joining Galatasaray, scoring 59 goals and providing 16 assists in 74 matches across all competitions.

His impressive displays have sparked interest from various clubs in Europe and beyond. According to Sky Sport Switzerland, Al Hilal is closely monitoring Osimhen and intends to pursue a deal for his services.

Galatasaray is reportedly open to his departure, setting his valuation at approximately €65 million. Al Hilal views Osimhen as a suitable successor to Benzema as they aim to create space in their roster.

However, any potential transfer is contingent upon Osimhen's willingness to move to Saudi Arabia, necessitating Al Hilal to persuade the Nigerian international to agree to the transfer.
