He is set to return to the Italian club this summer, where his contract expires in 2026.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Al Hilal sent a proposal to Victor Osimhen as he is a key target for the summer window.
He also revealed that the Saudi club is prepared to pay Osimhen’s €75m release clause as they want him to be part of new coach Simone Inzaghi’s plans for the new season.
Despite reports of a potential move to Chelsea and Manchester United, no permanent move materialised.
Last summer, Chelsea legends John Obi Mikel and Didier Drogba reached out to the forward to try and talk him into a Stamford Bridge switch.
‘I hope that Chelsea fans will finally see him come to the club. I’ll make sure I send him those text messages and calls, making sure Chelsea is his top priority,’ said Mikel.
‘But it seems like he loves the club and wants to come to Chelsea. I’m sure he has all the big clubs wanting to sign him. I think if we can secure his signature it would be fantastic for the club.
‘Didier is also speaking to him, sharing his own ideas and what the club means to us. We all want to see Victor come to the club. If it happens, it happens. It’s a huge transfer fee, but if we can match it and get him to the club that would be absolutely fantastic.’
