As Liverpool prepares for the potential departure of Darwin Nunez, the club is actively seeking a new centre-forward to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season.
The Reds, once again led by the prolific Mohamed Salah, are looking to build on their recent success. Salah closed the season with an impressive 34 goals and 23 assists, securing yet another Premier League Golden Boot.
New manager Arne Slot and his team are exploring options to find a forward who can effectively complement Salah. One name that continues to surface is Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
Reports indicate that Osimhen is nearing an exit from Napoli, with Liverpool identifying him as a top target in their search for a new No. 9. Despite turning down a massive £650,000-a-week offer from Saudi Arabia, Osimhen may lower his wage demands for the right move.
To facilitate the deal, Liverpool could offer a swap involving Darwin Nunez—who has struggled to consistently deliver—and possibly Federico Chiesa, a player Napoli has long admired. Napoli reportedly has a keen interest in both Nunez and Chiesa, potentially making this a mutually beneficial trade.
Nunez, once a marquee signing, might not fetch his original fee on the open market, so a swap for the proven Osimhen could be an ideal solution for all sides. Liverpool would gain a clinical finisher, while Napoli would secure two players they have tracked for some time.
With all parties seemingly open to a summer shake-up, a blockbuster exchange deal could be on the horizon
