Liverpool have reportedly held a behind-closed-doors meeting to discuss signing a £63 million-rated striker, who is emerging as a top transfer target for the summer window. The player is believed to be open to lowering his wage demands in anticipation of a major career move.
The Reds are looking to move quickly in the market, with the club’s hierarchy eager to wrap up priority signings early. After Arne Slot’s stellar first season—securing the Premier League title with four games left—FSG has been planning ahead. The club has already secured deals for Jeremie Frimpong and Armin Pecsi.
Further reinforcements are in progress, with Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz expected to be next. Once those signings are complete, Liverpool will likely shift their focus to strengthening their strike force. While the squad is well-stocked in attack, there’s a need for an upgrade in the No. 9 role, particularly as Darwin Nunez’s influence has waned and his future remains uncertain.
Several forwards have been linked with the club, including Hugo Ekitike, Goncalo Ramos, and Victor Osimhen. Osimhen, who recently turned down a lucrative move to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, could now be on the move. Napoli previously resisted selling him, but their stance has softened, and they’re now open to offers.
Although both Chelsea and PSG showed interest in Osimhen, neither could finalize a deal with Napoli, leading to a loan move to Galatasaray. He has since become a top contender for the European Golden Boot. His rejection of the Saudi switch may pave the way for a permanent transfer elsewhere.
According to GiveMeSport, Liverpool are actively discussing a potential £63 million deal for Osimhen. Although his salary demands might pose a hurdle, there is optimism that he may accept a pay cut to join a top-tier club.
Still, Galatasaray is currently seen as the frontrunner to sign him permanently, despite Liverpool’s interest
