Simone Inzaghi has officially taken over as the new coach of Al Hilal and the former Inter is ready, starting from the Club World Cup, to start a millionaire cycle and, the Saudis hope, a winning one.
The economic availability of the Blues of Arabia is infinite, as is the ambition. The first move for Simone Inzaghi could be Victor Osimhen, on whom there are several news.
The Nigerian on loan at Galatasaray will actually return to Napoli, but only formally. His entourage has been looking for a permanent transfer for over a year, and the Al Hilal prospect could satisfy all parties involved. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the first contacts have started to bring Victor Osimhen to Saudi Arabia.
As reported by Alfredo Pedullà, Inzaghi has spoken directly with Osimhen, illustrating the project and making him understand that he can accelerate. The Nigerian from Napoli is therefore the number one target of the Saudi club.
The figure to take him away from Napoli is known, and for Al Hilal, it won't be a problem: the 75 million euros of the clause valid for abroad is ADL's request. Then, of course, there will be discussions about Osimhen's salary, which, according to the Belgian source HNL, could amount to 120 million euros for three years, with 40 million euros per year.
The market will obviously be explosive. Victor Osimhen is the number one target, but the Saudi club has also promised Simone Inzaghi other moves. Al Hilal is in the front line for Atalanta's Ederson.
The Brazilian from Atalanta is very much liked by Manchester United, but the 60 million euros requested by the Bergamo team could make the Red Devils retreat and Al Hilal advance. Theo Hernandez is also very much liked, but he is taking his time due to European interests, especially from Atletico Madrid.
Al Hilal also tried for Bruno Fernandes with a very rich proposal, but the Portuguese from Manchester United rejected the offer.
