Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly set for a shock link up in the summer transfer window

Victor Osimhen could be on the move again this summer, with reports claiming that the Super Eagles star could be teaming up with Manchester United’s captain.

A new report claims the Nigerian star could link up with Bruno Fernandes next season, as both players attract major attention from Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal.

Al Hilal make moves for Europe’s stars

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Al Hilal have already convinced Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi to take over as their new manager from July 1, with a staggering €20 million annual salary sealing the deal.

The club’s ambitions don’t stop at the dugout as they have reportedly offered Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes the same eye-watering €20 million salary to lure him to Riyadh.

The Portuguese playmaker is expected to make a decision on his future at the end of the season, but Al Hilal are pulling out all the stops to secure his signature.

Victor Osimhen, currently enjoying a sensational season at Galatasaray with 36 goals and a league title to his name, is also firmly on Al Hilal’s radar.

The Nigerian forward has been linked with top European sides like Juventus, Chelsea, and Manchester United, but Al Hilal’s financial firepower and growing ambition could swing the balance.

Galatasaray have reportedly been exploring every avenue to keep Osimhen at the club, even if for just one more season, with reports claiming the Turkish champions are willing to break the bank to sign the Nigerian star.

However, with Osimhen’s wage demands allegedly pricing out most European top five league suitors, a move to the Gulf has regularly been touted as a serious option for the Super Eagles star.

Should both he and Fernandes make the jump, the duo could form one of the most electrifying partnerships in the Middle East next season.
