Revealed: Victor Osimhen Was Just 24 Hours from Joining Liverpool
A major revelation has surfaced regarding Liverpool’s transfer plans, with Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen reportedly just a day away from signing with the club. According to Dave Davis on the Anfield Index podcast, the transfer collapsed not due to wages or club objections, but because of loyalty payments Napoli owed Osimhen.
Had the deal gone through, it could have reshaped Liverpool’s attack. Darwin Núñez was reportedly close to sealing a £70 million move to Al-Nassr and even missed a Champions League match against PSV—not due to illness, but because his exit seemed imminent.
While Núñez’s future at Anfield now looks more secure, Osimhen remains a compelling target. With only a year left on his contract, Davis believes Liverpool could land him for around £60 million—a relative bargain compared to someone like Alexander Isak, who might cost double.
Osimhen, who recently scored a winner for Fenerbahçe against Samsunspor, is viewed as an ideal fit for Arne Slot’s high-intensity system. As the summer transfer window approaches, this story adds a dramatic twist to Liverpool’s evolving plans.
