Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal are considering a move for Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen as they look to offload former Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema before the end of the current summer window. Osimhen has been in excellent form since joining Galatasaray, scoring 59 goals and providing 16 assists in 74 appearances across all competitions. His impressive performances have once again fueled speculation over his future at Rams Park, with several clubs in Europe and beyond reportedly monitoring his situation. According to Sky Sport Switzerland, Al Hilal are keeping a close eye on the Nigerian international and could make a move for his signature. Meanwhile, Galatasaray are reportedly open to his departure and value the striker at around €65m (approximately ₦102 billion in Nigerian currency). The Saudi Pro League club reportedly see Osimhen as a potential replacement for Benzema as they look to free up a place in their squad for the Nigerian. However, any deal remains dependent on Osimhen's willingness to move to Saudi Arabia, with Al Hilal now needing to convince the Super Eagles striker to accept the switch. Ahead of the start of the new campaign, the Nigerian international will be keen to resolve his future and focus on maintaining his impressive form. Adeyemi Adewale
