Liverpool have been linked with a 2024 move for Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian striker is regarded as one of the best in the world. He’s undoubtedly the main reason Napoli won the Scudetto last season, but he’s certain to go in one of the next two transfer windows. Liverpool, according to Radio Kiss Kiss, wants him.
Liverpool are keen on signing Victor Osimhen
Nobody anticipated Victor Osimhen’s name to be mentioned among the players Liverpool fans expected to look at.
The ‘strong’ 24-year-old has received a lot of attention recently. The Nigerian was so enraged by Napoli’s absurd social media behavior that his agent threatened legal action against the club (BBC).
Despite what has happened, Osimhen has continued to play for Napoli, but everyone expects him to leave in 2024.
Valter De Maggio, the director of Radio Kiss Kiss in Italy, has revealed that Liverpool are interested in Osimhen.
“There is a lot of interest in Liverpool’s Victor Osimhen,” he remarked on the radio.
“Then it will be necessary to understand whether the Reds will put pressure on Osimhen’s agent not to renew it or not.”
Do the Reds even require him?
If Mohamed Salah departs the club, Liverpool will almost certainly make a big acquisition next year.
The Egyptian is a major target for Saudi Pro League clubs, and it is nearly certain that they will return with a massive offer to sign him next summer.
Jurgen Klopp will have plenty of funds to spend, and Napoli’s £150 million-rated (Mail) Osimhen may be within reach, but after spending so much on Darwin Nunez, we don’t see the need for another big-money striker.
It will be intriguing to see what happens with Osimhen in 2024, although Liverpool are unlikely to sign him.
