Victor Osimhen Eyes Premier League Move Amid Interest from Liverpool and Manchester United
Napoli’s star forward Victor Osimhen is targeting a transfer to the Premier League next season, with initial discussions underway between the Nigerian striker and Liverpool, according to TBR Football.
At 26 years old, Osimhen is considered one of the world’s leading strikers and has drawn significant attention from Liverpool. However, Manchester United is also pursuing him, increasing competition for his signature.
Osimhen recently impressed during a loan spell at Galatasaray, scoring 37 goals in 41 matches, catching the eyes of top English clubs.
Having turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia, Osimhen is focused on competing at the highest level in Europe. Napoli seems ready to let him go this summer, with a £63 million release clause in his contract.
Fresh off their Premier League title, Liverpool want to strengthen their attack after Darwin Núñez’s underwhelming season with only seven goals. Osimhen is viewed as a key upgrade to help the club defend their title and compete in Europe.
Manchester United, coming off a disappointing season, are also seeking attacking reinforcements. With limited impact from Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Højlund, Osimhen is seen as vital to their plans to rebuild and return to the Champions League.
Both clubs are expected to decide soon whether to trigger Osimhen’s release clause.
