Liverpool in direct contact with a move for Victor Osimhen.

Liverpool are interested in Chelsea target Victor Osimhen (24) from Napoli.

According to Calciomercato, Liverpool have been directly linked with a move for Victor Osimhen and have been interested since last summer.

The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best players in Europe and could be a good signing in the Premier League.

Liverpool are competing with Chelsea for the Nigerian international striker.
The Blues need to bring in top quality players and Osimhen can build them into the final third.

Liverpool also have Darwin Nunes and Cody Gakpo, so it will be interesting to see how they deploy Napoli in the starting line-up.
Mohamed Salah has been linked with a move to Liverpool and it will be interesting to see if Jurgen Klopp decides to switch to a two-striker formation and bring in Osimhen in place of the talismanic striker.

The 31-year-old Egypt international will enter the final year of his contract next summer and Liverpool would be wise to sell him if they do not extend his contract. Clubs in Saudi Arabia want to buy him at the end of the season.
They tried to buy him in the summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, Osimhen scored 31 goals in all competitions last season, helping Napoli win the league. He will certainly develop Liverpool in the future and it will be interesting to see if the Reds can come to an agreement.
“Napoli” tried to extend the striker’s contract.

However, the opt-out clause was a major obstacle to reaching an agreement between the two sides. Osimhen and his representatives are demanding that the new contract include a reasonable release clause.

But the president of Naples, Aurelio de Laurentiis, wants to introduce an emissions tax of more than 200 million euros.

There is no doubt that Osimhen is a top player, but it is unlikely that any club will be willing to pay that much money for him.

It remains to be seen whether the forward will decide to sign a new contract with the Serie A club and move to the Premier League at the end of the season.

This will be an exciting step in his career and working under a manager like Klopp could help him realize his world-class potential.

Jurgen Klopp suffered double blow on Liverpool’s two transfer targets after the decision was overturned

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has long been interested in Nice midfielders Hefren Thuram and Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, but those moves could now become complicated.

Liverpool could regret signing Hefren Thuram and Nico Williams, with a move for the in-demand duo set to become more difficult than ever.

Spaniard Williams, 21, is regarded as one of La Liga’s brightest prospects but his club are now demanding a new deal to keep him at the club alongside his older brother Inaki, who is locked out until 2028.
Like Williams, Nisa midfielder Thuram is also attracting attention from Liverpool.

The 22-year-old footballer has entered the international league of France and is attracting the attention of Juventus.

The Italian giants are looking for a replacement for Paul Pogba, who could face an extended retirement from football after testing positive for a banned substance, and believe Thuram could be the perfect replacement.

Thuram is the son of former French footballer Lilian Thuram, a former Juventus defender, and his older brother Marcus plays for domestic rivals Inter.

According to a new report from Calciomercato, Thuram is Juventus’ top transfer target next summer and is Pogba’s de facto replacement at the Bianconeri.

It means Reds boss Jurgen Klopp could regret his decision not to sign the Frenchman this summer.
Turam’s transfer fee could rise due to interest from Juventus and a deal could now become difficult.

Bilbao, meanwhile, have insisted Nico Williams is not going anywhere and is confident of his commitment to the Basque Country’s long-term future.
Club president Jon Uriarte has now spoken about the winger’s future.

“We are calm,” Uriarte told Diario AS about the future of Williams Jr., among other stars.
“We want an attractive project for Nico and other players like Unai Gomes, who extended his contract this week.

We think Nico will find this project attractive and we believe in him.” His family is loyal to athletics, and this is the highlight of his career.
We have nothing to say about any rumours.

Liverpool have missed out on several transfer targets this summer, including Moises Caicedo and Romeo Rabia, who moved to Chelsea, and Sofian Amrabat, who caught Klopp’s eye, at Manchester United.
