Liverpool enter the race to sign Victor Osimhen
Liverpool They have been unstoppable in the first division this season, as they comfortably lead the league standings, in addition to having won each of their champions league matches of the inaugural phase of the competition. However, it is fair to say that the Arne Slot team has relied heavily on Mohamed Salah while Cody Gakpo has occasionally contributed assets.
One of the least performing players in the offensive department has been Darwin Núñez, who has scored only four goals in 24 appearances in all competitions this season. The Uruguayan has been left out of the starting eleven in recent games, which raises doubts about his continuity at Anfield.
According to Anfield Watch (h/t Football Transfers)Liverpool have joined teams like manchester united in the race to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. The report adds that the Nigerian international is a player that the Reds 'admire greatly' and with the possibility of a permanent signing. transfer emerging in the summer after finishing his year on loan at Galatasaray.
Manchester United are interested, but Liverpool could ruin the deal
Manchester United are among the parties most interested in Victor Osimhen and are prepared to offer Marcus Rashford in an exchange agreement to sign the striker. There are doubts over whether they will be able to meet his £62m release clause, especially if they cannot get rid of any players. The 26-year-old is also unlikely to prefer United as he will likely miss out on Champions League football.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will be able to comfortably afford Osimhen's release clause and could even match his high wage demands, even more so if Mohamed Salah leaves the club at the end of the season and alleviates a considerable wage liability on the club. The Reds have perhaps the best team in the world at the moment, so the Napoli shooter will have confidence in joining a winning project.
It will be interesting to see if people like Arsenal and Chelsea He also shows some concrete interest in Osimhen, although it is difficult to look beyond Liverpool as the ideal destination for him.
