Al Hilal, who failed to recruit Bruno Fernandes, is close to recruiting Victor Osimhen.
Al-Hilal has not won a medal this season. Not only the league, but also the most highly anticipated Asian Champions League elite win was frustrated. Al Hilal, who gained momentum by beating Gwangju FC 7-0 in the quarterfinals, collapsed 1-3 in the semifinals. It was a disappointing season, but Al Hilal's season is not over yet.
Al Hilal's top goal is the Club World Cup. Al Hilal was in a formidable group. Al Hilal was included in Group H along with Real Madrid, the world's top club, Germany's ambush Salzburg, and Mexico's Pachuca.
Al-Hilal already has a European-class history. Portugal midfielder Ruben Neves, who played for Wolverhampton, former Lazio midfielder Sergei Milinkovic-Savic, former FC Barcelona striker Malkong, former Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly, former Manchester City fullback João Cancelo, former Sevilla goalkeeper Bunu and former Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic have all filled their positions in the European big leagues. All Saudi players are also national team players.

Al Hilal, who is looking for a sensation in the Club World Cup, wants bigger players. The first player I wanted was Manchester United ace Bruno Fernandes. Fernandez has been an ace since moving to Manchester United in the winter of 2020. Fernandez, who plays various positions such as attacking midfielders, central midfielders and wingers, showed off his amazing ability to produce points, scoring 98 goals and 84 assists in 277 Manchester United games. Fernandez is the only player who has done his part this season with Manchester United's worst performance. He scored 19 goals and 17 assists.
Al Hilal took note of Fernandes. I made a huge bet. I offered a weekly salary of £700,000 after tax. It is more than double the current annual salary of £15.6 million. Considering that it is after tax, it is a larger amount than that. Al Hilal has also prepared a £100 million transfer fee for financially troubled Manchester United. Both Fernandes and Manchester United were bound to falter. But Fernandes chose to stay.

Fernandes was likely to move to Al Hilal. A month ago, the chairman of Al Hilal called me directly to make an offer. I had time to think about the future. United were willing to move if they wanted to"I talked to my family to find out what the future I wanted. Then my wife asked me. I never answered 'Yes' or 'No'. My wife put my professional priorities above everything else", he confessed. Then "I want to stay at the highest level and compete in a big tournament. I think I still have the ability. I want to continue to be happy, and I still have a lot of passion for this sport. I am satisfied with my decision."
Despite missing Fernandes, Al Hilal brought manager Simone Inzaghi, who led Inter Milan to the second place in the European Champions League. The contract is for two years. The salary is beyond imagination. According to European transfer market expert Paprigio Romano, Inzaghi's annual salary is 26 million euros (about 40 billion won). Inzaghi broke up with Inter Milan on the 4th, a day earlier. He signed a contract with an Al Hilal official in Paris, France the next day.

This is not the end. It is close to recruiting Osimen, who showed tremendous scoring ability in Galatasaray, Turkiye. Osimhen, who left for Galatasaray on loan due to a feud with Napoli, played tremendously, scoring 36 goals in 40 games.
Juventus, Chelsea, and Manchester United are showing interest in Osimhen, who showed amazing scoring ability in Galatasaray after Napoli. Al Hilal also jumped into the recruitment race. Negotiations have already progressed. The transfer fee agreement has been finalized. According to Fabrizio Romano, who is called the highest peak of the European transfer market, Al Hilal has decided to pay all 75 million euros of buyout money Napoli wants. Initially, Al Hilal offered 65 million euros and 70 million euros, but decided to make a big investment to confirm the recruitment of Osimen before the Club World Cup.
What's left is Osimhen's determination. Romano has booked a medical test schedule for 'Al Hilal Osimhen' It's up to the player to decide. Osimhen's chances of transfer are very high. According to Gianlucadimarzio, Osimen has already reached a personal agreement with Al Hilal. According to French media, Al Hilal has reportedly offered Osimhen a huge salary of 120 million euros over three years. Galatasaray wants to catch Osimen at the last minute, but the difference in amount is too big.
