Super Eagles and Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen has reached an agreement on personal terms with top Saudi club Al Hilal.
Initially, the striker walked away from talks after his demand for £40 million per year was not met.
Now, reports suggest that they have settled on a contract worth £30 million per year for four years.
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri shared that Osimhen and Al Hilal have agreed on personal terms.
He will earn about $35 million (£29m/$40m) as a base salary over the length of the contract, plus additional bonuses.

Even though there’s progress with the player, Al Hilal still needs to finalize an agreement with Napoli.
Reports say that the best offer from the Saudi team is €70 million (£59m/$80m), while Napoli is asking for €75 million (£63m/$86m).
Discussions between the clubs regarding the transfer fee are expected to continue.
If Al Hilal can complete the transfer in time, they can use Osimhen at the FIFA Club World Cup since the mini-transfer window closes on June 10.
This news is a big setback for Turkish champions Galatasaray, who wanted Osimhen to stay with them after his impressive loan period where he scored 37 goals in 43 matches across all competitions.
