The list of clubs pursuing Victor Osimhen continues to grow, with Liverpool reportedly joining the race for the Nigerian forward.
The 26-year-old striker has become one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market, thanks to his €75 million release clause. Despite widespread interest, Osimhen recently declined a move to Manchester United, opting to see out his season-long loan at Galatasaray. Now, Liverpool is reportedly preparing to make their bid, contingent on a critical development.
According to BeinSports Turkey, Liverpool’s interest in Osimhen is tied to the potential departure of Darwin Núñez. The Uruguayan forward has struggled to justify his €85 million price tag since his move from Benfica, and there is reportedly interest in him from clubs in both the Middle East and Europe. Liverpool is said to be open to selling Núñez next summer if a suitable offer arises.
Should Núñez depart, Liverpool view Osimhen as an ideal replacement. The Reds are reportedly preparing to compete for the Nigerian’s signature, but they face stiff competition. Manchester United are expected to reignite their pursuit for Osimhen, while Chelsea, who nearly signed him last summer, remain in the picture.
With several top European clubs vying for his services, the race to sign Osimhen is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing transfer battles of the season.
