Victor Osimhen has agreed to undergo a medical examination with Al-Hilal, which is expected to take place on Monday or Tuesday next week in Paris, Bold Sports reports.
According to multiple sources, the Nigerian striker has reached an agreement on personal terms with the Saudi Arabian giants. The club is eager to complete the medical swiftly in order to finalize the deal and have him available for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which kicks off on June 15 in the United States.
Italian journalist Jolanda De Rienzo confirmed that Osimhen has committed to being available for the medical early next week and could join the team immediately afterward to prepare for the tournament.
However, a key hurdle remains: Napoli has yet to accept Al-Hilal’s €70 million offer, which is €5 million short of the club’s valuation and the striker’s release clause.
“Victor Osimhen has accepted Al-Hilal’s medical examinations scheduled in Paris for Monday/Tuesday. The push for the Club World Cup,” De Rienzo shared via X.
Osimhen has been one of the most sought-after strikers over the past two summer transfer windows, attracting interest from elite European clubs including Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Juventus, and Barcelona.
The 26-year-old, who recently missed the Super Eagles’ Unity Cup matches against Ghana and Jamaica, as well as the friendly against Russia due to club commitments, is now expected to travel to Paris on Monday for the scheduled medical.
Osimhen to undergo Al-Hilal medical has given a lot of Al-Hilal fans confidence that the deal is close to being complete.
