“Napoli” striker Victor Osimhen is set to leave the Italian club in recent months.
The 24-year-old is arguably one of the best strikers in the world at the moment and his contract with the Italian club expires in 2025.
He has decided to extend his contract with Napoli and journalist Walter De Maggio has now revealed that he has reached an agreement with Liverpool to join the club.
“The parties agreed on an extension, but Kalenda and Osimhen broke their promises. What happens?
Another Premier League club has joined us.
“I’m talking about Liverpool,” he said.
“I was contacted frequently, but I also learned something else: an agreement had already been reached.” To be clear, Napoli are not involved as this deal is between the Reds and the player.
“I hope Laurentiis can keep Victor Osimhen at least until the season, but we are not sure.”
The player and his agent have agreed terms with the Premier League club and it now remains to be seen whether Liverpool can agree a fee with Napoli.
The Reds already have players like Darwin Nunes and Cody Gakpo in their lineup. Diogo Jota can also play as a striker and it would be interesting to see how Jurgen Klopp deploys Osimhen in the starting line-up if the move goes through.
There is no doubt that the Nigerian is a world-class player who will be a great addition to Manchester United. Liverpool could sell one of their strikers to accommodate the Napoli striker.
Osimhen scored 31 goals in all competitions last season, helping Napoli win the league. He is still only 24 and working under a manager like Klopp could help him develop further.
Napoli won’t let him go cheap and Liverpool could end up paying a record fee to complete the deal. It will be interesting to see how things develop in the coming months.

One of Liverpool’s top summer targets for next year is made public
The ideal young forward has been identified by Liverpool, who want to bolster their lineup for next summer.
Over the past 12 months, Jurgen Klopp’s team has achieved an amazing rebuild by investing in youth and offloading experienced players.
The club lost Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and Roberto Firmino in the summer as they moved to Saudi Arabia.
After Wataru Endo, Dominic Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexis Mac Allister joined the team last summer, the midfield in particular received the most attention.
The Reds have been connected to a number of possible replacements as a result of reports that Mo Salah may eventually depart for Saudi Arabia.
Johan Bakayoko is one of Klopp’s top priorities for his team to sign next year, the Liverpool Echo reports.
The PSV winger made an impression in the previous season and was on the verge of joining Brentford in the summer, but he turned it down to remain in the Eredivisie.
Bakayoko, who is only 20 years old, would be a great fit for this young Liverpool team and would be a true steal at an estimated £20 million.
The Merseyside team may make a move for a midfielder or defender as early as the January transfer window, according to rumours
