Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal have returned to the market for the signature of Nigerian international Victor Osimhen, who has been impressive at the club level, Soccernet.ng reports.
However, contrary reports suggest that the Super Eagles attacker has not yet decided on which club to join for the 2025–26 season campaign.
New reports from Nexus Sports suggest that the Saudi Arabian side are also looking to lure Portuguese forward Bernardo Silva to Riyadh this summer.

Although no figure has been placed around his move, it is believed that if the midfielder accepts the deal and Osimhen decides to move to Saudi Arabia, both players could be donning the same jersey for a while.
According to Fabrizio Romano and many UK media sites, Osimhen has accepted a deal to join Al Hilal, with medicals to follow.

Osimhen was in a similar situation with Napoli last summer when he had a fallout with the club’s management, which led to a season-long loan move to Galatasaray.
