Liverpool in talks to seal a ‘sensational swap’ deal to sign £63m star with 44-G/A last term…

Liverpool is currently negotiating to finalize a ‘sensational swap’ deal to acquire a £63m star who recorded 44 goals and assists last season.

According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool is in discussions with Napoli regarding a deal to bring Victor Osimhen on board in a ‘sensational swap’ arrangement.

The future of the Nigerian forward has been a topic of speculation during recent transfer windows.

He was strongly linked to Chelsea and a move to Saudi Arabia last summer, but ultimately, he turned down both options before opting for a season-long loan to Galatasaray.

During his time with Cimbom last season, the 26-year-old had an impressive run, netting 37 goals and providing seven assists across 39 matches in all competitions.

He has returned to Napoli this summer and appears poised to depart from the Italian club.

Al-Hilal made a significant effort to acquire his services, but the player is not yet inclined to move to Saudi Arabia.

Now, TEAMtalk reports that Liverpool has expressed interest in the African talent and has already initiated discussions with Antonio Conte’s team to finalize the deal.

Concurrently, they are also engaging with the player’s representatives to convince him to make the move, and he is reportedly willing to join Anfield.

The player has a release clause set at £63m, but the Reds are reluctant to meet that figure and are considering including Darwin Núñez and Federico Chiesa in a part-exchange deal.

Osimhen to Liverpool

Liverpool is prepared to allow Núñez to depart following his disappointing performances last season, while Chiesa is also likely to leave after just one year at Anfield.

He faced fitness challenges last season and struggled to secure a place in Arne Slot’s starting lineup.

Osimhen is known for his speed, strength, aerial ability, clinical finishing, and work rate off the ball.

He has demonstrated his skills at the highest level, contributing to Napoli’s Scudetto victory in the 2022/23 season.

Furthermore, the Nigerian international has the essential physical qualities to thrive in the Premier League.

As a result, he would represent a significant acquisition for the Merseyside club if they succeed in obtaining his services during this transfer window.

In addition, even after clinching the Premier League title last season, Liverpool has been quite active this summer.

Following the acquisition of Jeremie Frimpong, they are close to finalizing a deal for Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

Additionally, they are anticipated to bring in Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth.
