Arne Slot aims to finally land the prolific Nigerian forward Jurgen Klopp couldn’t get
Liverpool are reportedly going all-in for Victor Osimhen as their marquee summer striker signing. With Darwin Núñez likely to depart to fund a new forward, the Reds are targeting three key options — Osimhen, Benjamin Šeško (RB Leipzig), and Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP). But it’s Osimhen, once valued at over €150m, who now appears the most accessible due to Napoli’s willingness to sell for around €75m (£64m) and his clear Premier League ambition.
Key developments:
Slot has £200m for transfers, aiming to build on his debut-title-winning season.
Osimhen has just one year left on his Napoli contract.
Manchester United have cooled interest, leaving Liverpool with a clearer path.
The striker has expressed admiration for Galatasaray but has not committed to staying.
If Liverpool make a decisive move, Osimhen could become the elite No.9 that finally fills a long-standing void in the Klopp and post-Klopp era.
