Super Eagles of Nigeria goal-machine Victor Osimhen is reportedly the subject of a huge bid from the Saudi Pro League.

Napoli have reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Al Hilal for the sale of Victor Osimhen, although the striker is yet to decide on his future.

Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been a top target for Al Hilal, according to reports from Turkish media outlet Fanatik. 

Despite continued interest from the Middle East, Osimhen's preference has been to continue his career in Europe, competing in top competitions like the Champions League.

A move to Chelsea has long been mooted, as well as Manchester United and Arsenal, who are desperately in need of attacking re-inforcements.

However, there have been reports suggesting the finances involved in signing the Nigerian could force English clubs to look elsewhere, leaving oil-rich Saudi clubs as the only viable alternative.

Should the 26-year-old make the move to Saudi Arabia, he would line up against other superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Jhon Duran and more.

Osimhen has scored 31 goals and provided 5 assists for Galatasaray this season, matching his personal best season from the Scudetto-winning year at Napoli.
