Liverpool have identified Victor Osimhen as a key summer transfer target following internal discussions at Anfield, according to GiveMeSport.
With new manager Arne Slot aiming to bolster his forward line—particularly with Darwin Nunez underperforming last season—Osimhen has emerged as a prime candidate.
The reigning Premier League champions have already secured Jeremie Frimpong and are actively negotiating deals for Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.
More Signings Expected Under Arne Slot
Determined to assemble a squad capable of competing for top trophies, Slot is pushing for additional reinforcements. Addressing weaknesses in the attacking department is now a top priority, with club officials having discussed Osimhen’s name in recent strategy meetings.
The Nigerian international is widely regarded as one of the most complete strikers in modern football, known for his pace, aerial strength, and sharp finishing.
Although Osimhen previously attracted interest from Saudi sides such as Al-Hilal, he reportedly turned down those offers, preferring a future in Europe—possibly in the Premier League.
That stance could give Liverpool a clear opportunity should they decide to act.
Manchester United Also in the Race
Liverpool won’t have a clear path to Osimhen, however. Manchester United are also reportedly in talks with the striker’s representatives.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are keeping tabs on other attacking options, including Alexander Isak. But any move for the Newcastle star may be complicated by the club’s steep asking price.
The coming weeks could prove decisive: will Liverpool make an official bid for Osimhen and meet his wage expectations, or pivot to alternative targets if Napoli remain firm?
