Al-Hilal Wants to Sign Osimhen with €120m as they Prepare for World Cup
Al-Hilal are making a bold move to sign Victor Osimhen with a huge offer lined up ahead of the summer transfer window. According to FootMercato, the Saudi giants are ready to put €120 million on the table for a three-year deal in a bid to bring the Nigerian striker to Riyadh. They want Osimhen in their squad ahead of the Club World Cup set to kick off next month, hoping his presence will boost their chances after missing out on the Saudi Pro League title to Al-Ittihad.
Osimhen recently wrapped up an impressive season at Galatasaray, where he was on loan from Napoli. He found the back of the net 36 times in 40 appearances across all competitions, catching the eye of top European clubs. Al-Hilal know they’ll face stiff competition but are pulling out all the stops to land the 26-year-old, who could be key to their world-stage ambitions. Meanwhile, they’re also monitoring Cristiano Ronaldo’s situation closely, with reports suggesting the Portuguese star may be on his way out of Al-Nassr.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
