Liverpool are pushing hard this transfer window as new manager Arne Slot shapes the squad for the upcoming season. With Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz already reinforcing the defense and creativity, and left-back Milos Kerkez on the way from Bournemouth, the club is now focusing on landing a top-class striker.
Despite solid numbers last season, Slot seeks to boost Liverpool’s attack following inconsistent performances from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota, which left Mohamed Salah carrying much of the scoring load. Enter Victor Osimhen — one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers.
The 26-year-old Nigerian forward has a €75 million release clause this summer. After an outstanding season with Napoli — scoring 37 goals in 41 games and leading the club to a domestic double — Osimhen is viewed as an ideal fit for Slot’s tactics.
According to Valter De Maggio of Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli:
“Liverpool want Osimhen, and Napoli are sticking to the €75 million release clause without negotiation,” as reported by Area Napoli.
With only a year left on his contract and a strong desire to play in the Premier League, the move seems increasingly likely. Liverpool are eager to secure a proven finisher — and Osimhen tops their list. This transfer could be completed quickly.
Victor Osimhen looks set to leave Napoli this summer.
Napoli are aware that keeping him until the contract expires is unlikely. The player favors a Premier League move, with Liverpool standing out as a prime destination.
If Liverpool seal this deal, they’ll be adding not just an elite striker but also sending a strong message to their competitors that they’re serious about competing for major titles next season.
With Osimhen spearheading the attack, supported by Florian Wirtz’s creativity and Mohamed Salah’s consistency, Arne Slot could be assembling one of Europe’s most formidable forward lines.
