A development that may disappoint Galatasaray fans: Victor Osimhen, who has been a standout player this season, has reportedly reached an agreement with Fahad bin Nafel, chairman of Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, according to Turkish media.

The Nigerian striker is expected to earn an annual salary of around $30 million and sign a three-year contract.

Al-Hilal is currently awaiting approval from the Saudi government to complete the transfer and make an official announcement.
