Liverpool released the heavy artillery to try to recruit a point at number 9. According to the revelations of journalist Sébastien Vidal, the Reds formulated an explosive proposal in Naples to attach the services of Victor Osimhen. The particularly daring offer includes Darwin Núñez, Federico Chiesa and a check for 20 million euros to convince Aurelio de Laurentiis to give in his Nigerian striker.
The purpose of this big offensive is to respond to a very specific request from Arne Slot, who is desperately looking for an elite number 9 to defend the title of England champion won last season. The Dutch technician, who arrived last summer to succeed Jürgen Klopp, considers the 26 -year -old striker as the missing piece of his offensive device.
But Naples claims an Osimhen fortune. Aurelio de Laurentiis, faithful to his reputation as an inflexible negotiator, requires more than the initial proposal of Liverpool. The Neapolitan President would demand and an additional 20 million euros to release Osimhen. This requirement is legitimate according to Laurentiis, knowing that the Nigerian returns from an exceptional season in Galatasaray with 37 goals and 8 assists in 41 games, and that he is very coveted, especially in Saudi Arabia, even if Osimhen recently rejected a pharaonic offer from Al-Hilal estimated at 35 million euros per season.
The player favors a new challenge in Europe, with a preference displayed for the Premier League. His release clause of 75 million euros (valid until mid-July), applicable only to foreign clubs, theoretically facilitates negotiations with English training.
The outcome of this summer soap opera promises to be thrilling, with a big showdown in perspective between the European contenders of Osimhen.
