Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles and Napoli striker, has finally agreed to personal terms with top Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
The striker had previously walked away from negotiations after not receiving his annual salary request of €40 million.
Contrary to previous reports, a contract worth €30 million per year for four years has been agreed upon.
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, an agreement between Osimhen and Al-Hilal on personal terms is in place, with the striker set to be paid the equivalent of $35 million (£29 million/$40 million) as a base rate over the course of his contract, topped up with add-ons.

Despite the breakthrough with the player, Al-Hilal are still short of an agreement with Napoli.
Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio notes that the Saudi giants’ best offer is €70m (£59m/$80m) and Napoli want €75m (£63m/$86m)
Negotiations between the clubs over the transfer fee are set to continue.
If Al-Hilal can wrap up the transfer on time, they will be able to use Osimhen at the FIFA Club World Cup, with the mini-transfer window closing on June 10.
This latest development will be a massive blow to Turkish champions Galatasaray, who have been pushing for the striker to remain with them after his successful loan spell. He scored 37 goals in 43 appearances across competitions for the club.
