Galatasaray have put a price tag on Victor Osimhen, with reports saying the Turkish champions would accept a €65 million ($75.5 million) offer as Al Hilal renew their push to sign the Nigerian striker.
According to Sky Sport, the Saudi Pro League club has contacted Galatasaray to understand the conditions for a transfer and is now weighing a move for the 27-year-old forward.
Galatasaray are not blocking an exit. The club is reportedly willing to sell Osimhen for €65m, but any deal hinges on the player agreeing to move to Saudi Arabia.

Al Hilal are working on two fronts: convincing Osimhen to join, and clearing space in their squad by offloading Karim Benzema. Sky Sport described the Saudi club’s plan as “Benzema out, Osimhen in.”
That means the transfer can only proceed if Benzema departs and Osimhen gives his approval.
Osimhen joined Galatasaray permanently after a successful loan spell. He was a key figure last season, making 33 appearances, scoring 22 goals and providing 8 assists.
The timing is crucial. Sky Sport says the next few days could decide whether Al Hilal can persuade Osimhen to leave Istanbul for the Saudi Pro League.
The Nigerian striker is now at the center of another big transfer saga, with Galatasaray ready to cash in if their valuation and Osimhen’s wishes align.
