Premier League champions Liverpool are reportedly said to be the latest team interested in the services of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, and are considering the Napoli man alongside other stellar names.
Liverpool could be Osimhen’s next destination during this summer’s transfer window, according to British outlet Sky Sports. However, the Reds are also on the lookout for other attacking options, including Newcastle United star Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig, and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike.
The extensive list comes as they plan to move on from Uruguayan international Darwin Nunez, who only managed to find the back of the net just seven times in all competitions in the just-concluded 2024/2025 campaign for the Merseysiders.
Coach Arne Slot’s side have been busy in the transfer market, having recruited Dutch full-back Jeremie Frimpong from German Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth £29.5m, they have reportedly tabled a club-record fee of £105m for Frimpong’s teammate Florian Wirtz, while academy product Trent Alexander-Arnold has left the club in a £10m move to Spanish La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid.
Osimhen, 26, enjoyed a stellar 2024/2025 campaign on loan at Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray from Italian Serie A champions Napoli. The former Lille and Wolfsburg frontman scored an impressive 37 goals across all competitions for Okan Buruk’s side and registered eight assists as well. He is set to return to his parent club in Naples in the summer to sort out his future.
Osimhen has been linked with a host of clubs including Manchester United and Chelsea, though the Blues have opted for Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, whom they have triggered his release clause worth around £30m. The player himself has previously voiced his admiration for the Premier League, although it is left to be seen whether the Reds will put in a bid for the former U-17 starlet.
