The amount Liverpool could potentially pay to sign Victor Osimhen has been revealed.
Osimhen has emerged as one of the players Liverpool could be targeting to fill the No.
However, it is the club’s attack that could undergo the biggest changes in the summer, given that up to two or three attacking players could leave this summer.
It is almost certain that Darwin Nunez will leave the club, while there is genuine uncertainty over the future of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz.
Both Nunez and Diaz are attracting interest from Saudi clubs, and Liverpool may be forced to reluctantly sell the Colombian if the right offer is tabled.
Should Nunez depart as is expected, one player who could potentially inherit his No.
9 shirt is Victor Osimhen.
The 26-year-old on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli fits the profile Liverpool want in their striker.
According to a recent Sky Sports report, the Reds have been tracking the forward, who is unwanted by Antonio Conte at Napoli, for some time.
The Nigerian is seen as a cheaper but equally lethal alternative to the club’s primary No.
Liverpool will be reluctant to pay such an amount for the Swede and could sign other options like Osimhen, Hugo Ekitike, and Benjamin Sesko.
According to ESPN, Osimhen will be available in the summer for about £55m, which is an equivalent of €65 million or $71m.
Liverpool may be interested in acquiring a player of that calibre at such a deal.
During four years at Napoli, he averaged better than a goal every two games.
