Inzaghi won’t give them up, wants them with him in Arabia: two Serie A bigwigs in the crosshairs

In spite of the difficulties and recent developments that seemed to have put an end to negotiations, Al-Hilal continues to keep its attention high on two of its main market targets-Theo Hernandez and Victor Osimhen. The Saudi club, the protagonist of a very ambitious buying campaign, has not yet given up hope of securing the two champions, although at the moment their landing in Riyadh is far from imminent.

Victor Osimhen, Napoli striker, in recent weeks seemed to be one step away from a move to Saudi Arabia. The parties had reached an agreement in principle, with the Nigerian center forward ready to accept the very rich terms proposed by Al-Hilal. However, a sudden about-face halted the deal, leaving Osimhen still in a blue shirt, at least for now.

Slightly different, but equally intricate, situation regarding Theo Hernandez. The AC Milan full-back has from the outset expressed perplexity about a move to Saudi Arabia, preferring other European solutions. In particular, the player had shown strong interest in Atletico Madrid’Atletico Madrid. However, the club failed to reach an agreement with the Rossoneri, thus making this possibility also fade away.

At the moment, the closing of the market window for the Club World Cup has definitely ruled out the possibility of seeing the two players wearing the Al-Hilal jersey in the prestigious competition. However, the Saudi club does not seem intent on letting go. With still three months of the summer market ahead, it cannot be ruled out that new attempts will be put in place to try to unblock negotiations.
