Liverpool has been informed that, despite interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, they will not be permitted to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen has made a name for himself as one of the top attackers in the world over the past few years, putting clubs all over Europe on notice.
The Nigerian international helped Napoli win Serie A last season with 26 goals in the league.In spite of this, in an odd video uploaded on their official TikTok account, the Italian powerhouses made fun of their star striker.
This has stoked speculation about a move ahead of the January transfer window, with rumors connecting him to Chelsea and Arsenal.
Osimhen, who is also being watched by Liverpool, is valued at €120 million and has a contract with Napoli that runs until 2025.
Director of Radio Kiss Kiss Valder De Maggio recently revealed that Osimhen is attracting a lot of interest from Liverpool.
Victor Osimhen is highly interested in Liverpool, according to De Maggio. The Reds’ ability to exert pressure on Osimhen’s agent to forego a renewal will then need to be seen.
Through the same radio silence, Italian journalist Salvatore Biazzo has now addressed De Maggio’s remarks. He believes that because Liverpool is deeply in debt, they will not be able to sign Osimhen.
Osimhen on Liverpool? According to Biazzo on Radio Kiss Kiss (via Sport Witness), they are heavily indebted.
We need to comprehend Osimhen’s psychological state in light of these family occurrences. You now have the injury to cope with as well. Numerous issues surround this tiny gem, so De Laurentiis will need to keep a careful watch on him.
There is intense competition amongst teams in the Premier League, including Arsenal, City, and Tottenham.
Although Liverpool is a storied team and may desire a striker such as Osimhen, I see the financial vulnerability of English teams and Liverpool is ranked among the highest debtor clubs.
Rafael Benitez, the former manager of Liverpool and Napoli, stated earlier this year that Osimhen reminds him of former Reds striker Fernando Torres.
I’m reminded of Torres by Osimhen. stated Benitez.
a player with a strong mind who moves quickly. But it would be unfair to discuss only one player when discussing Napoli. The Azzurri have fantastic teamwork.
