According to a trusted source, Arsenal is prepared to allocate £62 million for a top-tier striker, moving away from their previous interest in Sesko and Isak.
A reliable journalist has stated that Arsenal intends to use £62 million to sign a “world-class” striker, shifting focus from Sesko and Isak.
Arsenal is reportedly “willing to pay” the £62 million release clause for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen this summer, according to reputable journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu.
Currently under contract with Napoli, the 25-year-old Osimhen spent last season on loan at Galatasaray after failed transfer moves to Chelsea and a Saudi Arabian club last summer.
“I’ve been discussing Manchester United’s interest for two weeks, and it’s gaining global media attention. Now, I’ll turn my attention slightly south—Arsenal in England is also interested in Osimhen.”
“Both Arsenal and Manchester United are targeting Osimhen. If we look at the situation, Arsenal’s chances have fluctuated from 51 to 49, day by day, as June approaches, showing they’re still in the running.”
“As of now, Arsenal has officially entered the race alongside Manchester United for Osimhen. He can be signed in England for his release clause of €75 million.”
“Galatasaray is also interested in a permanent deal but is still seeking the necessary funds. Arsenal is ready to proceed. Manchester United is also prepared.”
“Paris Saint-Germain is involved as well, but Galatasaray isn’t yet in a position to act.”
Fabrizio Romano recently shared on the GIVEMESPORT Market Madness podcast that Osimhen will expect his current salary of £413,000 per week at Napoli to be matched by any prospective club, making it unclear whether Arsenal would agree to those terms.
With multiple key departures expected this summer and the striker role being a top priority, there are few options that surpass Osimhen, suggesting that Arsenal has likely done extensive research before entering this competitive situation, making it an intriguing scenario to watch closely.
