Liverpool Football Club has reportedly joined the pursuit of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, adding to the competition with Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Manchester United, and Arsenal in the race for his signature during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The move comes as Liverpool seeks to address concerns over the underperformance of Darwin Núñez, their current forward, who has struggled to find his form this season with just 11 goals in 33 Premier League appearances.
Osimhen, known for his goal-scoring prowess, is seen as a potential upgrade to lead Liverpool's frontline. Despite PSG leading the chase, the Nigerian striker reportedly has a strong desire to play in the Premier League, offering Liverpool hope in securing his services.
However, acquiring Osimhen would require Liverpool to meet his €130 million release clause, indicating a significant financial investment for the club. Osimhen's impressive performance in Serie A, despite injury setbacks, has made him a sought-after talent in the European transfer market.
