Al Hilal maintain pursuit of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen

SSC Napoli are reportedly open to selling Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to Liverpool.

The Italian giants are understood to have informed the English club that they will accept a swap deal offer for Victor Osimhen if Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa are both included in the proposal.

Liverpool have identified Victor Osimhen as a potential key signing ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Talks are believed to be ongoing between the two clubs, although Liverpool are reluctant to activate the striker’s €75 million release clause.

Italian outlet AreaNapoli claims that Napoli have presented Liverpool with an alternative route to completing the deal, which includes submitting a player-plus-cash offer rather than paying the full clause.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that Darwin Nunez has already given his initial approval to a move to Napoli, with the Uruguayan forward edging closer to a departure from Anfield.

Despite Liverpool’s interest, the Super Eagles star is also attracting attention from other top clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester United, and Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.

Currently, Al Hilal are leading the race for the signature of the Nigerian sensation.
