Al Hilal gun for Osimhen to replace Benzema

Al Hilal, a Saudi Arabian club, are attempting to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as they seek to sell former Real Madrid player Karim Benzema prior to the end of the summer transfer window. Since joining Galatasaray, Osimhen has scored 59 goals and provided 16 assists in 74 matches across all competitions. This impressive performance has sparked discussions about his future at the club, with multiple European and international teams showing interest in his situation.

According to Sky Sport Switzerland, Al Hilal is closely monitoring Osimhen and intends to pursue a deal for his services. Meanwhile, Galatasaray is reportedly open to his departure and has valued him at around €65 million. For Al Hilal, the Nigerian forward could potentially replace the outgoing Benzema, creating space in their team for him.

However, the transfer would depend on Osimhen's willingness to move to Saudi Arabia, and Al Hilal would need to convince the Super Eagles striker to accept the move. As the new season approaches, Osimhen is likely to want to confirm his future and focus on continuing his stellar form.
