Liverpool scored Victor Osimhen as a serious target this summer after a high -level discussion in Anfield, according to Givemesport.
With Arne Slot who seeks to sign a new striker this summer to replace Darwin Nunez at the club who had trouble performing last season, Osimhen was identified as a target this summer.
The Premier League champions have already obtained the signature of Jeremie Frimpong and they are currently involved in discussions to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and Milos Kerkez de Bournemouth.
Arne Slot seeks to make more signatures
The Reds are planning to add more new players to their team to make a competitive team this summer that can challenge all the best honors next season.
After noticing a weakness in his attack, Slot now wants to target a movement for a new striker who can lead the attack on his team next season.
With the recruitment of attackers now an absolute priority for the title champions of the Premier League, the name of the Nigerian striker emerged during a meeting that involved the club’s main decision -makers.
Osimhen has acquired a reputation for one of the most complete attackers in world football, combining speed, air prowess and clinical finish.
Previous interests of Saudi clubs, including Al-Hilal, focused on the 26-year-old striker, but Osimhen would have refused these offers, signaling a preference to stay in Europe or pursue the ambitions of the Premier League.
This decision positions Liverpool well if they choose to conclude an agreement.
Liverpool Face Contest of Man United
Liverpool is not the only club linked to Osimhen. Manchester United would also have participated in the race, opening discussions with its representatives.
Elsewhere, Liverpool continues to explore other reinforcements of attack. Alexander Isak remains on their radar, although Pursuit has blocked due to the swollen evaluation of Newcastle.
The next few weeks can bring clarity. Will Liverpool support their discussions with an official offer and will it correspond to Osimhen’s salary requests? Or will they go to alternative targets if Napoli is firm?
The Napoli Manager Luciano Spalletti trainers described Osimhen as a “complete attacker”.
