Liverpool Eye £63m Striker Victor Osimhen in Bold Summer Move
Liverpool FC are reportedly holding behind-the-scenes talks to secure the signature of a £63m-rated striker, with Victor Osimhen emerging as a top target. The Reds have wasted no time this transfer window, working diligently to secure their key targets early and build on their Premier League triumph under Arne Slot.
Liverpool’s Transfer Strategy Takes Shape
The Anfield outfit has already made significant moves in the market, bringing in Jeremie Frimpong and Armin Pecsi. With deals for Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz nearing completion, the focus now shifts to bolstering their attacking frontline. Despite a wealth of attacking options, Liverpool are keen to elevate their No. 9 position, especially with Darwin Núñez rumored to be on his way out.
Victor Osimhen: A Prize Worth Pursuing
Osimhen, the Napoli sensation, has been a name on everyone’s lips this summer. After rejecting a late move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, the Nigerian international remains a hot commodity. Despite previous links to Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli’s asking price proved prohibitive. However, a fallout with the Serie A giants has paved the way for his departure, with Galatasaray initially securing him on loan.
According to GiveMeSport, Liverpool recently held a ‘private meeting’ to discuss a potential move for Osimhen. While his wage demands could pose a challenge, whispers suggest he may be willing to adjust his salary expectations to test himself at the highest level.
Galatasaray Leading the Race
Despite Liverpool’s interest, Galatasaray remain the frontrunners to secure Osimhen permanently. The Reds have reportedly conceded that the Turkish giants are the ‘most likely destination’ for the striker, whose performances have made him one of Europe’s most coveted forwards.
“Liverpool are scouring the market for further big-name arrivals, and Osimhen’s name cropped up in talks at Anfield. However, Galatasaray are expected to win the race for his signature,” a source revealed.
Osimhen’s potential arrival would undoubtedly add firepower to Liverpool’s attack, but the Reds face stiff competition to land the prolific striker.
