Liverpool have reportedly held internal discussions about making a summer move for Napoli star Victor Osimhen, according to GiveMeSport. With Darwin Núñez failing to impress last season, new manager Arne Slot is eager to bring in a top-class striker—and Osimhen is high on the list.
Slot has already started reshaping the squad, with Jeremie Frimpong signed and talks ongoing for Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez. But adding firepower up front is a clear priority, and Osimhen’s name has come up in key meetings at Anfield.
The 26-year-old Nigerian forward is widely regarded as one of the most complete strikers in the game, praised for his speed, strength in the air, and clinical finishing. He’s turned down big-money offers from Saudi clubs, signaling he prefers to stay in Europe—a factor that could favor Liverpool.
However, they’re not alone in the race. Manchester United have also made contact with Osimhen’s camp, and Newcastle’s Alexander Isak is on Liverpool’s radar too, though talks have stalled due to Newcastle’s asking price.
With Napoli reportedly open to negotiations, Liverpool will soon have to decide whether to go all in for Osimhen—or look elsewhere if the price is too high
