The transfer deal of Nigerian star Victor Osimhen from Italian club Napoli to Turkish Galatasaray is on the verge of collapsing, as the Turkish club has so far failed to meet the high financial demands set by Napoli's management.

According to media sources, the efforts of Galatasaray's sporting director to convince the Italian side are ongoing, but they have not yielded any decisive progress so far, threatening to close the file completely in the coming days.

These setbacks come amid the presence of another club on the line, capable of meeting Napoli's financial conditions, which is Saudi club Al-Hilal, who is still closely monitoring the situation and holds a strong negotiating position due to its massive financial capabilities and willingness to pay the required transfer fee.

Osimhen had previously been linked with a move to Al-Hilal, but negotiations stalled as he got closer to Galatasaray, before the situation became complicated again, bringing the Saudi club back into the spotlight.

Al-Hilal continues its search for a top-class striker to bolster the team's ranks, especially after nearing the signing of French left-back Theo Hernandez from Milan, as part of a comprehensive plan to build a strong team that competes on all fronts under the leadership of new coach Simone Inzaghi.
