Al-Hilal interested in signing PSG transfer target following snub from Kylian Mbappe - Reports
According to journalist Loic Tanzi, Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal are interested in signing Victor Osimhen after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)'s Kylian Mbappe snubbed the SPL club.

Al-Hilal have now shifted their attention towards Napoli's Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian is one of the hottest prospects in European football at the moment after helping Napoli win the Serie A in 2022-23.
